Monday Goals, Design Wall, BCT #5, Judy's Rolls

Weekly goals.  I like short term goals.  Henrietta feels better with monthly goals.  She says weekly goals stress her.  Do you set goals?  Oh, I better make mine!

  1. Start #6 of Beyond the Cherry Trees
  2. Finish 12 more Sister's Choice blocks
  3. Make a block "just because"

Last week I wanted to set my log cabin blocks together.  I laid them out several different ways and didn't like ANY of them.  So set them aside to think.  Jay had some good suggestions--thanks Jay!

There are 30 Sister's Choice blocks on the wall.  Bonnie used 72, but think that might get quite big.  They are 10" finished.   A couch quilt?  A queen bed cover?  I'm not sure yet. 


I am math challenged.  Last night I realized I had cut twice as many neutral pieces as I needed.  Can you believe I used a calculator and wrote my calculations down?

Here is Beyond the Cherry Trees #5.  On to #6!


A couple of posts back Judy had these luscious looking cinnamon rolls.  And the recipe!  Last night I made them.



They raised beautifully.  Smelled heavenly.  How did they taste?  I told Henrietta they were positively orgasmic!




I was going to take some to my sisters and my dad tomorrow, but I'm sure they won't want any--after all, they will be "day old rolls".  Just to be safe, I'm locking my door.   And hiding them.  


My stash report--still all zeros.  Going shopping in the frigid weather is not for me.   No internet purchases either.

Love the quilt, I also like short term goals. The only monthly ones I am setting is to keep up with the UFO challenge.

Yum those rolls look great. I will have to go print off that recipe and save it for a special occasion.

I'm afraid I'm going to be FORCED to make a batch of cinnamon rolls. Judy had pictures, you have pictures....what's a girl to do?? My mouth is watering.

The nine-patch stars look great together. Are you going to use sashing?

I can almost smell the rolls -- yummy!

Yummy rolls. Since I'm not allowed to cook, why don't you bake some and send them with Mason to have a playdate here?

I'm a few days behind on my Stashbuster digests, but saw your post about the Sister's Choice blocks and came over for a peep. They are looking great and so are the Cinnamon rolls! Enjoy :)
