Last month my goal was to finish the quilt top for my 17 year old son. On the last day of September I was so close to finishing. I debated on just quickly adding some strips and borders and calling it good. It would only have taken me a few hours and I could have entered into the September ALYOF, but then I took stock of my priorities. What was my goal? Finishing the quilt top for the challenge or designing the quilt top I envisioned? When I put it that way the choice was easy. I'm not making this quilt to enter a challenge...I'm making it for my son's senior year of high school. Do it the way I envisioned it. :)

Here is where I'm at with the center. Actually I have twice as many FG as are shown here, but I don't have a picture of that.
As you can see I have some work left to do. I'm trying to decide if I'm going to frame the center square with flying geese or just have them in the corners. Now that World Card Making Day is done and the Shoebox Swap is over I can focus on my sewing again a little bit more.

Here are my sewing goals for October:
1) Finish Tyler's quilt top for A Lovely Year of Finishes.
2) Make 2 block of the month blocks for South Sound Modern Quilt Guild. (one for them, one for me)
3) Start thinking about which project I am going to do next...finish my Star Shadow quilt or start on Michael's quilt or both.
What are your goals for October?
