I am so excited. I ran out of thread for another quilt yesterday afternoon so I grabbed a sandwiched but unquilted UFO and I have it quilted and about 1/4 of the binding on. I see a UFO finish for February! That will make just a little more room in my closiet and I can start thinking about a March UFO.

Finished a ufo that’s been ( laying around) for at least 5 years- probably closer to 7.
and another Ufo I decided just to pass on- donate somewhere- I’m never going to finish it so there is no point keeping it laying around.so... 2 done. They were both Round Robins that the sewing group I used to go to did, years ago. here’s the one I did finish |
I so enjoy seeing applique...something I don't do very often. nicely down ckcowl!

WMUTeach: Way to go! You took a possible frustrating situation and turned it into a win-win.
ckcowl: Awesome finish and congratulations on getting 2 UFOs off of your list. Several times today, I was going to pull out my tea towel UFO and got sidetracked. 🤷♀️ |
Ckcowl, what a pretty quilt and congratulations on getting the 5+ year old burden off your shoulders.
|
Mona G, love your string quilt. I just love those. And ckcowl, congrats on your finish. That's a really nice quilt.

A February finish! "Field of Stars" size 78x 88. That's my queen bed it's laid out on. (Covers but almost no drop)
Pattern is Missouri Star 'Lemon" blocks - which the rest of us know as LeMoyne. 98% stash. I had to buy a little white - white for the inner border - my Kona Snow had a yellow tinge that didn't look good. Used scraps, random FQ... basically anything I had floating around. While fabric is repeated - there are no 2 combinations repeated. (That's the kind of detail y'all might appreciate - even if the recipient might not) Mitered corners continue to give me trouble even if I like the results. I spent 45 min last night on one corner that surprised me by being too short AFTER it was mostly sewn on. Why did it UFO? I started this last year and quite honestly I got tired of squaring up blocks. The HSTs are all oversized and need to be trimmed to 3". I *hate* trimming. Why did I pick it back up again - the recipient is coming from Florida to visit. This way I can show it to her before dropping at the long armer. It still needs a label and black binding but the big work is done. |
Well done Rff1010! Yes trimming every HST is tedious; glad you persevered as it is such a cheery quilt! BTW mitred corners look great.

Awesome progress everyone, It's probably close to zero out and the sun looks inviting but I'm still not going out there, phone said -19 at 6AM. I have been working on the back for this months UFO and actually seeing some progress. I have all the pieces cut and just have to remember what order they need to be pieced in, so far only 1 seam had to be frog stitched.
Half way thru February how many can we knock out? |
