April Goal for ALYoF

It's already time to set my April goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes.  I've been careful not to make my goals too easy this year, and so far I'm three for three.  It feels good to get things done.  This month's goal is a big one with plenty of work and when finished it will be another UFO checked off the list.  It's time to finally finish the Quilted Village!  

I just completed the center portion of the quilt and got all the houses attached.  

The center turned out to be quite a challenge because it was way too small.  I ended up having to figure out how to add borders without ruining the look.  I added flanges to some of the borders to make it more interesting, and now I think it's just perfect. 

This week my focus was to finish hand embroidering all the birds.  

Now it's ready to baste.  My goal for April is to finish this quilt.  I need to baste, quilt, and bind it. 

I'm linking up to the Goal Setting Party at Fiber of All Sorts.
