My goal for October was to finish sewing together my hexies. I made slow progress but didn't finish it. Oh well, never mind.
It would help if I focused more on completing the goal I set myself rather than starting other things or getting distracted.
I am going to set a goal this month that I know I will meet and that is because this cushion is for a little girl's birthday in 18 days time. The paper pieced castle is finished and quilted.
I also need to sort out the backing to the cushion, but I can't make a decision on what it should be. I have some very pretty fabrics by Timeless Treasures called Matilda which is very apt as the little girl's name is Matilda. But I am not sure if to make a patchwork back with a selection of the fabrics or to choose one of them. I suspect time will end up being the deciding factor!
I am also realising that December is not very far away and I had in my mind rather a long list of things I would like to make as gifts. Going to have to focus a bit more if I am going to get half of them done. Off to write a list and try and be realistic!

I want to add some embellishments, thinking maybe some birds and flowers, to finish it off.

Love the pillow and the fact that there is a line of fabric so beautiful that shares your daughter's name... I vote scrappy...but time is always the deciding vote! Good luck! Love the hexies too!
