Time to report how I managed my June goals!
Goal 1 was to piece two backing fabrics for two sweet (and very large) quilts; Sugar Town and The Butterfly Garden.
Check.
I took the photos on a very, very bright sunny day, so the color is washed out, but you can still see that this is one large quilt backing!
Here are both backings; finished and ready to be sandwiched:
Goal 2 was to piece strips together to make binding for the Friendship Row by Row quilt. (Click here, here, here, here,and here)
Check.
Mom gave me an old small floral fabric from her stash and it is perfect for this quilt!
I not only prepared the binding, but I finished sewing it to the quilt!
Thank you so much, Patty, and OMG, for the motivation to finish this project!
Goal 3 was to piece three blocks for the Squared Away Sampler project.
Check.
You can see those 5 inch blocks in this blog post.
Goal 4 was to take time to walk in the garden (and pull a weed or two while I am at it.
Check.

I love the detail on the quilt, too. So many good memories…a few of the contributors have passed on, or moved on, so all I have are the memories. I am glad that I finished this friendship quilt!
I have several different varieties of peony…love them all! This one is my largest…as big as a dinner plate!
