My Mission in March

I have fond memories of watching the TV series Mission: Impossible years ago because of the very dramatic theme song, convoluted plots and dashing characters. The catch phrase "Your mission, Jim, should you choose to accept it..." was delivered with a flourish each episode. I've seen a few of the movies too but the original flavor is my favorite.

The clock is ticking on my Q1 Finish Along goals and, beyond that, my UFO Countdown. Winter is quilting season for me and it's time to accept my mission and crank up Mr. Juki. I'm choosing Warm 16 Patches as my Finish for A Lovely Year of Finishes because I'm feeling the need for some warm colors as winter lingers on.

This top has 6 good looking friends that are ready for action in March.

I've got a shortened month ahead with a happy trip east to visit the kids coming up the week before Easter. In February I set a goal to sew an hour a day which worked great for a lot of piecing... but I prefer to work on a top in one quilting session so in March I'm going to designate Tuesdays & Thursdays as quilting days. As in "Finish a Quilt" quilting days!

Beyond that I'd like to get caught up with my yellow RSC blocks from last year and make some yellow bowtie blocks. If I could get the remaining 3 projects on my Q1 Finish Along page to flimsy stage that would be a bonus but I'm not counting on it.

Quilting is My Mission in March and I choose to accept it.

    Good luck with your goals this month. I have a few, too, and I will have to stay on it in order to get them finished. I did finish off a baby quilt yesterday, so that started the month off on a good note. Love your Mission Impossible references. Fun show! ;)

    Keep the needle moving. Now that you have your first finish I know you will go full steam ahead., You have a lot of inspiring tops ready to finish.

    Yes and you also know that you lose your quilting room when you have to move in a bed. That is motivation also. I can't wait to see all you accomplish this month.

    I am the same w ay....peiceing in shorter time chucks, quilting in larger. I think the two days a week goal will prove to be very productive.

    I wish you luck! I have to work my quilting goals around 10 hour paying job days...no matter how you set your goals I think it's important to have some, no matter how small, in order to get anything done! I set my bar way high for Q1 FAL. I need to get some of the bigger UFOs quilted on my DSM before summer because I have no A/C in my house and a big quilt will be too hot to mess with.
