Today is the day that I reveal my two New Year's Resolutions and the two groups I will link up to in order to, hopefully, maintain my good intentions!
2020 RESOLUTION ONE:
I have added the button on the right side of this blog for the Rainbow Scrappy Challenge for 2020. I intend to pick a block pattern and make several blocks a month to have one or two quilts completed this year.
I always cut my bindings 2.5 inches wide because that size is useful for a lot of patterns. This is the bin where I toss my extra cutoff bindings:
Haven’t selected which bright ones will go into this month’s blocks yet. Patience, Grasshoppers!
I am torn between two choices of block patterns for this Challenge.
This first one is called Icy Roads, a block I originally got from Santiam Scrappers BOM for January 2004. A pattern with the same name is now available on Etsy from Carter Creek Quilts, seller: Cynthia aka Sam. Don’t know if it is the same person as gave out the BOM but the block sure looks the same. I have had it on hand to make for a very long time (yep, since 2004).
This one was a free block from Billie Lauder, with graphics & written directions by Mary Ann Beattie, called Faux Log Cabin. I’ve held on to this pattern for a long time also. This link will take you to the archived pattern:

2020 RESOLUTION TWO:
My second resolution is to participate in One Monthly Goal for 2020 sponsored by Elm Street Quilts.
The button to link is on the right side of this blog also. Since I have a lot of partially completed projects (oh, you do, too?!), I’m looking for the motivation this offers to get some projects completed. PS There are P.R.I.Z.E.S. Just sayin’!
My project for their January link-up is a partially completed kid’s quilt (I think it was made of Disappearing 9-patch blocks, but it’s been awhile since I made it). It is currently 42 inches square, but I would prefer a larger size and for it to be a rectangle, so it needs top and bottom borders. Then on to quilting and binding. Definitely a go for January!
Did you make Resolutions? I wish us both success in 2020!

Cute fabrics for this kid's quilt! Pretty colorful mushrooms ;) Good luck with your goals!
Well, good luck with your goals. As I participate in the RSC and OMG challenges as well, I’ll keep an eye on your progress and drop by to say hello and “way to go!” now and then. :-) I love your block ideas!!
Fun quilt. Thanks for linking up with Elm Street Quilts One Monthly Goal and good luck with your project.
