February PHD Update

Hi Quilting Friends,

How is it going with your 2024 PHD projects? I don’t know about you, but February seems to go on for-ev-er! I’m SO ready for Spring break, which starts at the end of next week, that I can’t stand it.

My progress on the 2024 PHD list has been steady, and I’m feeling that I will be able to stick with my plan to finish one project each month.

If you’re feeling discouraged with your own progress, keep in mind that “progress” doesn’t always mean “finished” (at least not right away!). Continue working on each small step of your projects, enjoy the journey, and share your successes! Let’s cheer each other on as we earn that PHD in 2024.

Here’s my February update-

Project #1- Carolina Chain Scrap Quilt

Quilting is completed, but I don’t have a new picture this month. We’ll wait until end of March for that to happen.

My “One Monthly Goal” for March is to add the binding and finish this quilt. Ready, Set, SEW!

Project #4- “It Moose Be Love” Challenge Project

Done and dusted! I made this pair of pretty red & white pieced heart place mats for the February “It Moose Be Love” challenge.

This was also my “One Monthly Goal” for February. (Ta-Done!), AND this project is also a February Rainbow Scrap Challenge finish.

Project #8- Mint & Chocolate Batik Quilt

I’ve started piecing blocks, and they look pretty great to me! I’m not highlighting this on my progress tracker yet, since I have a LOT more blocks to make. Here’s a picture of some of my blocks-

I’ve decided that I’d like to add a few more pieces of batik in order to have enough lights to go with my darks and mediums, so I’m forced to go to the quilt shop. 

I know. It is a hardship, but I’ll just bite the bullet and do it soon. Susan makes an excellent partner-in-crime, so perhaps we can have a “sister day” with quilt fabric shopping and lunch.

PHD Progress

Here’ my updated task list-

As you can see, I’ve substituted “April Showers” for “Give It a Whirl”. It’s perfectly fine to switch projects on your PHD list if you wish.

And my updated PHD tracker-

Use this handy tracker template from our friend Gail to keep tabs on your progress-
