Violet might be best known for her iconic quilt patterns like the elephant, giraffe and lion shown in the photo below. Her pattern portfolio includes a wonderful selection of English paper pieced (EPP) and foundation paper pieced patterns. The lion is an EPP project (and on my make list) and you can watch Violet share tips on EPP and the lion pattern in this episode of Fresh Quilting.
Those lucky enough to attend the Modern Quilt Guild's annual quilt show, Quilt Con 2018, likely saw Violet's quilt Terrance which placed second in the minimalist category. Congratulations to Violet! (See photos of all Quilt Con 2018 winning quilts.)

My goal for April is to assemble my blocks into a quilt top. I've used the floor in my daughter's room as my design wall and now it is time to sew these blocks together!
Now it is your turn to link up - what is your goal for April? (A goal could be to finish a quilt but it could also be to attach a binding. Whatever it takes to help you move forward and make progress on your projects! And as long as the project involves a needle and/or fabric, you can link up!)
Make sure you visit the One Monthly Goal event page for the specific requirements for links and social tags. Your blog post (or Flickr post) must contain a photo of your project, a clearly stated goal and a link back to Elm Street Quilts. Your Instagram post must include a photo of your project, a clearly stated goal and the tag #onemonthlygoal. (Entries which don't contain the required information may be disqualified.)
And remember, to be eligible for the prize(s) by random drawing you must linkup at both the goal setting and the accomplishment linkup in a given month. (The One Monthly Goal accomplishment linkup will be available on April 24.)
Make sure you add a link to this OMG post so others can find the OMG link-up from your blog. Let's make that easy - just paste this into your post:
