FAL2016: 2nd Quarter Goals

I loved being able to link up and come up with a list for the first quarter of the Finish-A-Long. Unfortunately, I was only able to finish 1 thing last quarter, which was a little disheartening, since I am overly ambitious in beginning things. So for this quarter, I will include the remaining 16 projects from last quarter which can all be found here. And I will also include the 10 things that I either started in the first quarter or made their way to the "stuck in my head" stack during the first quarter. I'm really hoping this quarter is nicer to me. Be sure to check out what other people are hoping to finish in the next 3 months here. You'll also find my link there. I should be about number 141.

Play with Me QAL: Backgammon

Woohoo. I love that I am starting to make progress again. This is the March Block for the Play with Me QAL. This fun Quilt Along gives us a game board each month (if we finished the block the month before, otherwise, you can purchase each board as well). This is the one board that sealed the deal on me joining this quilt along. This is Backgammon. I love Backgammon. It is one of my favorite board games. I had chosen a darker fabric for the main part of the board, but accidentally cut it too small.

This month's technique was to do Raw Edge Reverse Applique. While it was fun to get to try out this technique, I don't foresee myself choosing to use it again. It is a little stress inducing to cut 1 fabric so close to another fabric. I was worried the whole time that I was going to cut the underfabric....particularly on the last spike or 2. Luckily I did not have that problem, and I can happily say my block is done.

Check out the linky to see the other fun blocks and color combinations that others have made. I'm around number 135.
