Monthly goal for February

 My goal for February was to work on my "Magic Cubes" which had looked like this for 5 years:

 

I have worked on it and finished the FPP.

Now it looks like this:


and, although it's not finished, I have achieved my goal. In fact I got a lot more done than I had expected and I just need to sew the blocks together. Although the pattern includes setting triangles to make the piece square, I think I may leave it as a hexagon, and use it as a table topper.

This was not as difficult as I remembered from the workshop, although the correct placement of the colours in the 12 linked triangles was quite a puzzle. I'm pleased I only needed to unpick one of them! I will probably make it again, and this time go for cubes! I seem to have beaten the FPP phobia, thanks to Leila Gardunia's "Year of Scrappy Triangles" QAL, a few years ago.

Now the question remains whether or not I will make finishing this my goal for March,  or stick to my plan to work on a different UFO each month.

Happy sewing
