I set as my goal finishing the Dogwood Blossom quilt (click here to see the details).
This past faux Sewing Summit weekend, I finished it.

the back:

I hand quilted around each blossom using perle. I machine quilted (using a teal Aurifil) in the sashing.
I really love it. I loved learning the new techniques, having never really appliqued before. I don't, however, think it's supposed to stay with me. My relationship with quilts is weird. I kind of "know" when it's supposed to stay with me and when it's for someone else. I just haven't figured out who yet. Hrm.
Anyway, it's done! So wooooo! GOAL!!!!!!
Now, I just have to pick something for October. Hrm (again).
