Completed OMG for January 2017

My One Monthly Goal for January was to complete this quilt top. This was my  OMG January Post.
These are just fussy-cut squares. I used a pattern "Love Patchwork and Quilting". There was a neat way of sewing the scrappy squares. They were sewn in strips and then you pick the strips out randomly for 6 squares each. It does make the pieces all different to attach to the center square.

I think it turned out pretty cute. And hopefully, I can get this quilted soon.
 
I am linking up my finish to One Monthly Goal at Elm Streets Quilts


I, also, sewed this Flora Supply Case for a sew along. It turned out cute and I will be able to use it on my camping trips. I like to take along some hand-sewing items to work on in my camper.

Q1 Finish Along List


Joining on the Q1 Finish Along at Rhonda's Quilt Ramblings. Following is my list:

1.) This Frivol #4. I have the top completed so it needs quilted and bound.
2.) This Forest Friends quilt that I have started. Working on the top for my January OMG, so I would like to have the whole quilt completed by the end of Quarter 1.
3.) I bought Flora Supply Case for this Sew Along. I haven't purchased a couple items yet, but would like to sew it.  
4.) I have this quilt all cut out so I want to start working on it. It will be a gift for my son. He needs a new lap quilt.

5.) I would like to sew this Frivol #9 possibly for a gift for my Mom or my sister.

6.) Frivol #5 possibly as a gift, also.

7.) Valentine Table Runner - I am starting on this and would like to get it done for Valentine's Day.
8.) Apple Pouch from  Playful Little Paper Pieced Projects- This has been on my list for a while to sew. I would like to get around to it.
9.) Elvis Poolside Tote. I have made one these before and it does go together quickly so maybe I can get it done. Elvis is The King, after all. 
10.) Baggalista Bag. I definitely need a new bag to carry and I really like this style. I like bags that are cross-body so that I can just grab what I need out of it. I'd like to put a quilt block on the front, but haven't chosen exactly what yet.
11.) One or both of these Minis I would like to work on.
12.) Would like to sew some of these Hazel Pouches. I just love it and can use some fabric that I have collected. These would make nice gifts, also to put away for down the road.
13.) Might possibly sew one or 2 of these Phoebe Phone and ID cases, too.
 
I think I have enough to work on! These Winter months I am in the house, anyway, so why not?

Adelaide Bag

I finished this cute pouch for a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. I followed the pattern in Amy Friend's Intentional Piecing Book
 

This was #9 on my Q4 Finish Along List so I am posting to Q4 Finishes at Clover and Violet.

OMG January

Since a new year is starting, I'm picking out a project that I've had on my list for a while. This is cute fabric from Hawthorne Threads. It was cool that I won this fabric in a blog hop that Clover and Violet had, so I would like to sew this quilt with it. The quilt uses fussy cut squares which should work with some of these prints.
 
All that I've done so far is to cut out a few of the fussy cut squares so a realistic monthly goal for me would be to have the quilt top sewn by the end of January. I am linking this to Elm Street Quilts OMG January
