<br />
Link up a quilting related goal at the beginning of the month and then return at the end of the month to link-up your finish!<br />
<br />
A goal could be add a binding or make three blocks or quilt a quilt! Whatever you need to get done the project you need to make progress on.<br />
<br />
If you linked up your goal in early March, time to now <a href="http://www.elmstreetquilts.com/2017/03/one-monthly-goal-march-finish-link-up.html" target="_blank">link up that goal complete</a>!<br />
<br />
Missed March goal link-up? Don't worry, April's will be here soon. <br />

Ta da!<br />
<br />
I finished my Splendid Sampler quilt top one year (to the day) that the first block was released. There were 100 blocks in the year long QAL along with some bonus blocks.<br />
<br />
I did all 100 blocks, staying reasonably in sync with when they were released. My quilt top uses 99 blocks in a 9 x 11 layout. The quilt top currently measures 54 1/2 x 66 1/2''.<br />
<br />
The final layout doesn't use 3 of the original blocks and include 2 blocks I added including my wonky Christmas tree on the bottom row. The fabric I used was a F8 bundle of a Christmas line so some blocks were modified along the way to be more Christmas themed.<br />
<br />

Still thinking about borders but am leaning towards a thin red border and then the gold. (I've enough left of the gold for a 2 1/2 '' border.) <br />

There are a couple of blocks from the QAL that won't make the front of the quilt. Either they don't truly fit the Christmas theme of the fabric or I just don't like them. I made a substitute wonky tree to replace one and made a flying geese block (not pictured) as well.<br />
