#PenguinPartyQuilt: September Goals

September 2, 2018 by Cindy 1 Comment

Penguin head
Penguin Party Quilt! by Elizabeth Hartman

I’ve decided on my OMG (One Monthly Goal) for September: Complete remaining Penguin head units (10). This means the faces plus the snowballs and background.

I meant to finish all of the Penguin Faces last month so finishing the Blocks would be easy.
But I spent a whole day of sewing snowballing all of the eye units incorrectly.  Ugh.
Once I got my sewing mo-jo back, I really just wanted to complete 1 block.  So I assembled 10 Heads, enough so I could reach my August OMG.  I’m proud to say I did reach my goal of 8 penguin blocks!

10 more faces may not seem like much.  But this month is going to be a lot busier at work/I’m going to have less free time :/
I do have the component set to go, but each face does take a lot of steps.  Time to start the chain piecing extravaganza!

Chain-Pieced Beak Units

Chain-Pieced Eye Units

Thing always seem less daunting to me when I break it down into parts…
Here is my September To-Do List

  • Trim 10 beaks
  • Trim 20 Eyes
  • Snowball 20 eyes (40 snowballs)
  • Attach Eyes to Beaks (10 units)
  • Complete heads – Attach sides and forehead (10 units)
  • Snowball Heads (20 Snowballs)
  • Attach side/top background pieces

THEN it should be smooth sailing to get the penguin blocks complete!
Ok, I’m sure I put together a whole Penguin or 2 along the way… They’re just too cute!
And I need to finish 1 block to qualify for prizes for the #IcyPolesSAL 😉

Wish me Luck!
