February OMG finished

 I decided to do  my Monthly Goals in baby steps, my goal for February was to put the border on this table  topper that has been in the UFO stack so long I don't even remember starting it.  I had put off putting the outside border on because it was scalloped and it was appliqued on.  After getting it out and starting it, I realized it wasn't that hard to do  just time consuming in getting the  border curved and pinned just right to the background border. 
The border is on now and it will be off to my friend Leisa to be quilted, the binding will be a goal for another month.

82 in February

 I like Spring, but not in February.  It was 82 today and has been in the upper 70's for the  last two weeks.  My jonquils, and crocus are blooming their little heads off.  All of the trees are budding out.  Winter is not over, Atlanta always cold weather in March, but this year could be different.  What's the weather like where you are?

February OMG

I found the One Monthly Goad over at Elm Street Quilts, and decided this was what I needed to finish up some of my small UFO's.  Today I decided to look through my two boxes of smaller UFO's to see what I wanted to finish this month.  I knew it the minute I saw it, this table topper has been a UFO for so long I don't even remember when I started it.  All it needs is the border, but the border is a scalloped one that has to be appliqued onto the background border.  It probably won't take long, the prep work will take longer than the actual work.

I am using the blue snowflake fabric for the border background and the white will be the scalloped border.  I should be able to finish this by the end of the month.
