One monthly goal Jan finish -Old red barn

"old red barn"

Improv using orphan hst blocks

37"x34"

It is finished! I will say I usually never have trouble with binding but I cut it too narrow and paid for it in a bit of wonky at the corners but the best part it is done. I didn't think I was going to make it since this is the last day of the month.

I actually really like how the orphan blocks worked into the piece with some other blocks I made. It is a reminder of my old farm place when I was younger with a big red barn and windmill next to it. We had a silo too but it was blue not read but I wanted to keep my color palette. If you don't see a barn, silo and windmill that is okay. Never know where my mind travels but I do like the composition itself.

You too can join the One Monthly goal challenge at Elm Street Quilts just click on over and get ready for Feb.

Used up some stash fabric in keeping with the black and white theme.

Simple quilting of straight line grids. Nothing fancy or dense. I was thinking this might make a fun baby play mat.

I did spend a little time yesterday doing some freemotion quilting practice pieces. You can follow along with Jess @Quilty Habit
