OMG And Main Street's Block 7

Well this month came and gone way to fast! Here we are at the end of July and that means time to post our progress for the One Monthly Goal. 

Unfortunately I didn't get as far along as I had hoped. I think I'm going to do a lot of big blocks to get this back done...I can't have the backing with more stitches than the front! {too late!!}

I'm doing the back in an improve style. By the time I'm done with the back I think this quilt will be reversible! Definitely a simple all over quilting will be in order. 

Don't forget to play along! August starts a new month for the OMG!

Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal - July Finish Link-up

I have Block #7 of Pat Sloan's Main Street finished up. She just posted Block #8 today! She also posted the layout a couple weeks ago, I need to get on that so I can stay ahead.

Block #7 The Bank

 I did press it even though it doesn't look like it! No matter what I can't seem to get it to lay flat and I don't want to wet it now in case it shrinks. I think I will wet the fabric and iron it before cutting out the pieces! And I think a little bit of spray starch will do wonders too. 

Well off to do some more sewing!

July's OMG!

I've missed the last couple months of doing the OMG (One Monthly Goal) But I'm trying to get back in the swing because it really motivates me to get a project done!

So for this months OMG I'm going to piece together a backing for my Let's Go Camping top. It's been done since the end of December and needs to get in line for quilting! I would love to use the pretty batik in brown with the green and yellow pine cones and swirls, but I don't know when I'll get back to the quilt shop or if they even have it anymore!

As you can see I have plenty of fabric left from this project to do a backing...or two! I'm always afraid I won't have enough fabric to finish the quilt. Then there is always the fabric that I find after I've started and think "oh that will be perfect!" Hahahaa

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I hope you'll come back, I have some blocks to share later!
