UFO's

Unfinished Objects.... I always thought it should be UFP's or UFQ's for unfinished projects or unfinished quilts. But it is what it is.

Over at MQResource a new forum as been added for stashbusting and UFO's. I've decided not to do the stashbusting (most of my stash is still in storage for our move 3 years ago) but really want to get some of my UFO's finished and UQQ's (unquilted quilts) quilted.

We stated our goals for the week on Monday... I said that I wanted to get the borders on two different projects. One being my Freeze Frame quilt. It only needs the final 3 border, then it will be UQQ. I'd really like to get this one done and on the frame.



The other one that needs a border is my Lightening Strikes Twice. All I have to do to finish this top is to add the final purple border. (Same purple that is in the quilt above... I love that fabric!)



It should be a simple task to put borders on these 2 quilts, but I get distracted easily... I keep think about this other project that needs borders. It's from a class I took from Roxanne Carter a few years ago and the pattern is called Winter Rose It had been on my design wall for a few years. I kept looking at it and kept thinking it needed something more than just a couple strips for borders...



I guess I need to take a new picture since all the blocks are done and sewn together... This is how I was planning on finishing it.



Anyway, I've been playing with EQ6 and came up with this... Which I really like! I'm going to piece partial blocks to go around it.

  1. I've focused on UFO's (or UFQ's) for a few years now but my goal is to have finished tops -- I don't mind them sitting a while until I need them for donations or gifts.

    The winter rose blocks are gorgeous but have they really been up on the design wall for a few YEARS?
