UFO Report

I've had 5 days off from "that job" and thought I would get so much done... NOT! I've been sick with a cold and the worse ear ache I've ever had. :-(

I did manage to get some of the partial blocks done for the quilt I've been working on....



This is what it looks like with out the partial blocks.


And with...


Now I just need to get the second set done, but not today... I'm going to go lay down!

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.
