2016 UFO Challenge of the Month
#2505
Silliness, thanks for posting the finished quilts. The colors are lovely and that you used up orphan blocks is terrific..
I am sorry I have been missing lately. I haven't been able to follow the thread, but I will try to catch up. I had a contest with my quilting group that I was in charge of planning and it ended this week. I said I would post pictures of my finishes from the contest after it was over (I got credit for these already). The large star is the back of the one with the three stars. Both quilts have orphan blocks from quilts I made last year. I made another large star quilt last year and this is the sister blocks that were made last year. However, I had not sewn them together. I wasn't sure if I was going to use the same design or cut them down into something else. In the end, I decided to just make another large star with them. What is different this year is I put the star on the back and added a different front. The Care Bears blocks were leftover from another Care Bear quilt. I added some additional blocks in other fabrics. Sorry they are sideways. I haven't figured out how to turn them.

silliness, your finishes are great...I especially like the big star ones...they take average pretty squares to a new level.
Janice, count a finish for me as I will have the final stitches put in as I watch my Sunday night shows. The HST are from a guild swap several years ago. Setting blocks, borders, backing, and binding all from stash. I panicked when sewing the last border. I figured I had just enough fabric and proceeded to sew it on. I used diagonal seams when joining the lengths and it took more than I needed, and not enough fabric to finish. Why not the broken dishes cornerstones? This was a practice FMQ experience sewn on my DSM...

I have those HST as well. Yeah, need to get them done. Love how you did your setting oksewglad.
Yes Janice, the leaf quilt was a ufo that finally got completed. I just added that chicken onto the bottom to make the rows come out even.
I will have another one here shortly.
