May OMG Spiral Quilting Project
Honestly, May really snuck up on us this year. Sue would be HAPPY to tell you that she only has 27 days of school left. She also has some personal days and comp time to use up (or lose it) within those 27 days. Woot woot! It’s good to be Sue, huh?!! For me, things really start amping up at work. You can feel the tension and excitement in the air – it’s almost summertime! So, picking a May OMG project just kind of fell through the cracks. What to do, what to do?
May Day Thoughts
I believe I say that same thing at the beginning of many months – what to do, what to do?! This isn’t rocket science – just pick something and write about it. The world doesn’t stop revolving if we don’t meet a goal either! There are SO many options though – pick something hard that will be a stretch to finish or something too easy that it’s finished by the first weekend. Hmmm. Stretch it is . . .
May OMG Project Is . . .
For our May OMG project, we are going to complete the Rainy Day quilt top. I’ll be getting my spiral on after a long delay from November 2018. Poor thing – all layered and pinned, just pining away for me to give it some attention.
Y’all probably can’t remember anything about this project – me either. Here’s a little close up of the quilt top and the backing we chose. Thirty-five spirals plus whatever the heck I do in the borders. And only 30 days or so to do it – sure, I can do it. Right?! We’ll be posting this goal on Patty’s Elm Street Quilts link up

great spiral stencil. I would like to fmq circles, but I would need a lot more practice first
Love the spiral quilting stencil. Can’t wait to see this project with the spiral quilting. Take care, Mary.
Ooh, I can’t wait to see all those spirals quilted up! It will looks fantastic! I hope your May is as productive as you want it to be. I can’t believe we’re already into the second week – I think the month is going to fly by!
Lol! Yes, the world keeps on going even if we aren’t reaching our lofty dreams and goals. Maybe I will just let them go and enjoy yours!!!
I love quilting spirals. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
Spiral quilting sounds interesting. Hope you are successful. But even if you only move it forward that’s progress! Good luck.
I could hear this poor adorable quilt crying all the way from here! So happy to see it coming to a finish. I love this one! I think you can I think you can I think you can…
Well, I love the backing. So I am sure it will be lovely. That is all I need to know and you need to remember 🙂
Love the goal and can’t wait to see it all quilted.
Hello Roseanne, Those spirals look like they will be a lot of fun to quilt on that pretty quilt. It sounds like you and Sue know exactly how to handle this time of the year with your work and schedules, that is just fabulous and I hope that the two of you have a great time in May adjusting! Thanks for sharing and have a marvelous day!
Hooray for the last days of school! Sorry your job ramps up when Sue’s doesn’t – how does that effective quilting flow. I love that spiral and it will be the bomb on the quilt!
Sure! You can do it! I can’t wait to see the finished quilt. Thanks for linking up to What I Made Monday.
Looks like a fun project. I could not stay on track for monthly goals this year. My “do what I love each day” philosophy for the year got in the way. I am happy and sewing everyday so all is good … 🙂 Pat
I don’t know how big your spirals are, but doing 2 a day will give you lots of time for the borders;) hey just trying to help, LOL
Can’t wait to see your spirals! Make sure Sue doesn’t loose her “free” days 🙂
I look forward to see in the quilt with the spiral quilting. Lucky Sue! Hope she has a blast taking off those days from work. Happy Stitching!
Yay for Sue! I remember those last days of school and the electricity you’re talking about. Can’t wait to see those spirals; you’ll have that quilt done in no time!
