oksewglad; love the wonky log cabin and the big stitch. Can see this using scraps. And then using cloths pins and twine to hang it.

Why won't they take a machine quilted piece for an auction? Are they the quilt police on steroids? I think it great and machine quilting is still quilting.

I was in the Spring Churn Dash swap and here is what I got. I really love it. If someone comes along and wants it long armed, then I'll do that. Marcia

Wow, that is harsh Battleaxe! There are lots of beautiful machine quilted pieces out there and your Spring Churn Dash would have been a great place to show off some nice stitching. Lots of play area. I did a quilt for an auction and they were so glad to get it machine pieced, quilted and machine appliqued. It took in the most money at the auction in fact. They are missing out then.

I love seeing the great finishes! I'm still at 3 UFO's. I would like to get my 2 'in progress' quilt tops done before I choose an UFO to work on.

I have 2 UFO finishes to add to the February tally. The pieces making up the focal points of my pillows were some I found in my mother’s sewing box. She died in 2005 & I just found these pieces three weeks ago while digging around for a sewing machine foot I thought might have ended up there. It wasn’t, but I found these treasures instead. Mom’s angles weren’t exact but I decided to leave them as is. There was enough material cut & uncut for a total of 18 blocks. I let each of my daughters choose a block for a pillow & put the other 16 in a quilt. The pillows are 14” & one has a back from fabric in mom’s box while the other has a back from the star fabric used in the cornerstones. I’m out of the dark purple thread I’m using to quilt it so the quilt will wait until I get another spool. I’m pleased with the pillows & enjoyed making something pretty from pieces started by my mother 13+ years ago.

ETA: I can’t find the way to load pictures from my phone so I’ll have to wait until tomorrow & use my computer.
