Happy Leap Day! - February 29th

Not only is today a Leap Day, it is also the end of the month of February and a Wednesday.  So, I am linking up to WIP Wednesday  at Freshly Pieced and the 2012 New FO Challenge at Cat Patches.

February Projects --

(1).  This month, I started a Mod Mood quilt found on the 2010 Mod Mood Quilt Along  and am currently working on the decorative hand quilting.

(2).  I completed an AAQI mini for the February Color Palette Challenge.  Linky party is March 1st.

(3).  I completed a mini to enter in the Modern Mini Challenge  at Ellison Lane Quilts.  I couldn't pass up a chance to win all those lovely goodies.  Linky Party is March 5th.

(4).  I also played along with the Fugly Fabric Party at Charm About You. 

I think that I have managed my 2012 goals quite well so far of getting more involved with challenges, blogging more, and learning new techniques.  I have worked on minis, curves, and branched out to more modern quilts.  So far, so good.

NewFO Challenge - January

Boy, have I found a challenge made just for me.  It is the 2012 NewFO Challenge at Cat Patches.

I do love starting new projects, and this is a challenge that actually encourages you to add to the UFO pile!  I can do that!  I LOVE starting new projects.  The rule is that you start a new project every month.  Then link your project on the last day of the month, along with a status report of previous month's projects.  I think I can do that.  And I do have a new project started in January.  I wrote yesterday about a new applique project from Kaffee Fassett's pattern for Rice Bowls. 

Once I got the first one figured out, the rest have gone together well.  I now have a stack of rice bowls ready for applique.  So far, so good.
