October's goal

https://www.elmstreetquilts.com/2019/10/one-monthly-goal-october-link-up.html

September left without my realising it and without achieving my goal to quilt my "Overlapping Octagons" for the UandU QAL.



All was going well until inflammation in my right shoulder put pay to machine quilting two weeks ago. Although the shoulder is less painful now and I'm sewing again, I haven't dared to try quilting. It was probably heaving the quilt through my machine that caused the injury in the first place.

So far I have quilted about two thirds of the vertical blue sections. I've been using a quilting ruler and foot for the first time and there are lots of imperfections. I can live with them; you have to start somewhere! Once the vertical sections are finished I can start on the horizontal and then the red squares; let's hope I get this finished this month!

My goal for October is to finish my Overlapping Octagons.

Oh ouch, I am always nervous about such things and I bet its the quilting that does it. All the best that the shoulder will allow you do do the quilting and achieve your goal. Thank you for visiting my goal post on Kathryn Quilts.

Hope you meet your monthly goal Marly! I'm sorry to hear you have had shoulder problems. It is easy to overdo things when you're machine quilting, so do take care! Christine xx
