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.

Design Wall Monday 11/30/09

Once again it's design wall Monday... I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday weekend and a great Thanksgiving Day. With so much going on this last weekend I didn't get as much done as I had hoped for.

I did get the border blocks sewn on to my Freeze Frame quilt. (the link to the pattern should work this week...VBG How I got a Chevy emblem on e-bay I will never know!)





I already know how I want to quilt this, so I'm anxious to get it done and on my machine. It's going to be fun, fun, fun!

And now for something totally different.... I made some 4-patch posie blocks out a neutral floral print. Even though it's not my normal colors, I'm really please with the results.









These blocks are ready to be squared up and another small border of the aqua fabric added... This will be a shop sample at Quilt Harbor, and maybe a class.

Design Wall Monday, 11/9/09

I'm sill working on my Freeze Frame quilt from Judy Laquidara. Last Wednesday when I visited with friends and sewed all day, I got most of the border blocks that I need done. I think I need to make about 6 more...





I am really liking this quilt!!! I already have quilting ideas rolling in my head.

I want to thank everyone who commented on my last post about this quilt. Many of you said that you liked to black background... well, it's actually a very deep purple - plum color.



I love this fabric!!! This is the second quilt that I have used it in, and I have a third quilt that will probably get it also... Did I say that I love this fabric?
