I have been working hard on 7 UFOs the last couple days... I hate to work on that many old projects at a time but sometimes I do. I am so proud to be saying that I have this many this close to done!!
UFO #1 is Bonnie Hunter's My Blue Heaven and its an ultra large king size quilt. It is ready to put together but I need a large floor area.
The photo shows about 1/3 of the pieces laid out.
Excuse to not finish: Too windy to lay it out on the patio
UFO #2 was a BOM at a LQS (local quilt shop) and is really to assemble... or was, until I found out I am a block short.
Its pretty much all laid out (the missing parts are either waiting to be made or pinned together and at the sewing machine ready to sew.
I also found a block with a section turned so I need to rip before I sew (as it should be, I guess :).
Excuse to not finish: Someone stole one of my blocks and I know I didn't sew that other block
wrong.
UFO #3 is a Civil War Mini and it is all together into a flimsy but I kinda hate my fabric choices for borders.
Trying to decide if I want to finish as is or rip.
Excuse to not finish: I am THINKING. Its seriously small and I do not relish the idea of redoing anything on it.
UFO #4 is a quilt I started ages ago but just didn't like the way the center finished.
This came about from fabric I loved and the pattern I loved... and I made a bunch of churn dash blocks (the blocks around the perimeter). but what to do with center?
I found a panel with similarly colored bears in my stash that I wanted to throw in but I didn't measure correctly and there is a wee sash between the 2 center blocks that looks completely stupid....
The upper photo is how I think I want it to look.... the lower photo is how it looked before I ripped it up.
Excuse to not finish: Math
UFO #5 is a kit I received for my birthday last year. Parts are done with leftovers sewn into a piano key type strip. Its very small so I think this is the layout I want to use with the red used as sashing and binding. The sashing on 2 sides with the piano key and the random orphan blocks will give me additional size and give it a 'modern' twist (no pun intended).
Excuse to not finish: I can't think of one so I may get this one finished soon.
UFO #6 Bonnie Hunter's Celtic Solstice. All blocks are sewn (1/2 half of total quilt) and ready to assemble. They have been laid out once so I know I have enough pieces.
Just need to sew the pieces and rows together.
Excuse to not finish: bored with colors and needed a break from them.
UFO #7 actually 2 baby quilts of flannel that I completed at the same time; one is slightly larger than the other.
Both are actually mounted on the quilter now so it won't take much to finish them up.
Excused to not finish: I have none.
May the pieces of your life pull together into something amazing!
