Today I took a day to relax, since tomorrow I work all day at the quilt shop and I've been working hard all week! I had so much fun making Jen's Color challenge block for January that I decided to get ahead of the game and get the block done for February right away. Some lovely pinks from my Island Batik stash!
Then I made a pink ribbon block to mail to a friend (more Island Batik fabric):
I also added the pieced side borders to the Brothers and Sisters quilt I am working on. Those borders are making me crazy! The units are slightly different on each end, so have to go together in the right direction and every once in a while I find one that is upside down. Grrr. No pictures of that, but I hope to get the borders finished by Monday, so I'll have to show you later.
Then I started thinking about what I need to get finished in February. Brothers and Sisters is due to be done, so it gets to go to the top of my list and I am choosing this for my OMG (One Monthly Goal) Other than that, the Island Batik Ambassador challenge this month is Magnificent Minis, so I get to make a mini quilt! I have a Grinch Panel to quilt, so that will be fun. I should finish a Nine by Nine quilt for a shop sample. And there's that wedding dress to sew a bazillion buttons on...time to get that project finished up for sure!
I'm also participating in a fun blog hop this month, hosted by Bea of BeaQuilter - the Dust off a Quilt Book Blog hop I've been having a blast going through books to pick out a project to make!
Hope your month is off to a lovely start! Tomorrow night I'll post the winner of my giveaway for the Getaway Blog hop...good luck!

Similar ribbon to the one I sent Friday - love your version. I laughed when I saw the pink blocks thinking I exhausted my batiks in pink, but I hadn’t! Will get to it - but running so late this month already..
Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
