2013 UFO Challenge of the Month
#1011
I have 2 finishes to add... one was in July but I never got it posted. Busy month of travel and then a bout of cellulitis in my knee that kept me off my feet for several days. The antibiotics are starting to do their thing and I've been able to sew again the last few days. Hoping for good things in August...
These are 2 of 5 Charm Quilt UFOs in my closet... simple patchwork using 6.5" novelty squares from online swaps. The layout I used on #1 I really like - I think the background squares show off the fun prints better. I quilted them both with walking foot freehand waves. These are UFO Finishes #33 & #34 for 2012 (and #49 and #50 since 10/1/2012).
Guess what? I'm straddling the halfway point of my UFO Collection with 51 to go!!

QuilterMomma - your quilting is so well done! I really like the those cute Umbrella girls.
Nanna-up-north - I love how you used the those fabrics! And the quilting is great too. It would look right at home in my MN Up North house!

missgigglewings - that makes a great table cloth! Some fabrics shouldn't be cut up and that is one of them.
michelleoc - both of your quilts are gorgeous! I especially love that red paisley fabric. What a nice gift.

Createfourpaws - I think this is prettiest T shirt quilt I have ever seen! The sashing around the shirts really adds a lot.
VickiM - way to go with 3 finishes! I particularly like the mix of border fabric and pinwheels on the 1st one - something I wouldn't think to do. Eye-catching!
Sorry for the multiple posts everyone but I'm so behind... going page by page to catch up.

asimplelife--I was wondering where I saw your I spy quilt and it's on your blog! I do enjoy following it. OBTW like the stacked sticks or stick stacks (whatever) you are working on now. I can see it with a cream/tan main color and jewel tones especially turquoise rust and browns for a SW look. Also a black main color with KT and Jo Morton type fabrics. Or how about a cream floral and some Civil War fabs!

asimplelife - your last two entries are very nice. You stack of UFO's is diminishing day-by-day!

I love ALL of of your ideas - I have been thinking batiks as well as a Christmas version since I already have a bunch of the coins (2.5" x 5.5") needed from a swap I did a few years ago.

Asimplelife - I really like your quilt. Wish I had seen it before I started sewing my 2-1/2" scrap batiks together. However I'm liking what I have so far. Just am going to need about as many more as I've done already to have it big enough for anything. Seemed like a lot more scraps when they were just all in a pile!
