Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

August 2020 OMG

In July I did not finish a single quilt. Not one. It has been a long time since my quilting productivity has been this poor. To help move things along, I am once again signing up with OMG (One Monthly Goal) at Elm Street Quilts for a little incentive. My August 2020 OMG is Plaid-ish.

Through a Bonnie Hunter retreat I met a couple of women from Minnesota who have become my quilting besties. We get together as frequently as we can to visit and sew. In June, a trip to Minneapolis to help our daughter move led to a short visit with these friends. We made the most of our appropriate quarantine for that visit and they followed me home to sew here for a few days (not nearly long enough!). Sometimes, we select a common project for these little retreats. This time we picked two and Plaid-ish was one of them. Since I did not have a lot of time for cutting I used three colors to make the “plaid” instead of value. I’m happy with the way it turned out and best of all, I was able to use scraps from a previous project.

The Plaid-ish pattern is available free from Kitchen Table Quilts. There are hundreds of Plaid-ish quilts on Instagram at #plaidishquilt if you want some inspiration to make your own.

This is not a larqe quilt so it should be no problem to get it quilted in time to meet the August 2020 OMG deadline. Of course I said that about the lap quilt that just spent 38 days on the frame.

Thanks to Patty at Elm Steet Quilts for hosting the OMG Challenge. Click here to see other August goals.
