That's why my UFO Saturdays are always popular and lots of fun. Dianne has been working on this new quilt for her bedroom for a few weeks and got it finished on Saturday. Such gentle colors...
Dan and Patty brought their Spinning Parasols tabletoppers to work on and made some great progress. Dan had all three blocks finished, didn't get a pic of that third block and Patty had her center finished and the pieced border sections as well. They are looking good.
Ruth worked on a runner she started in a different class and got lots of her tri-recs finished and another diamond or two. She will be ready to put it together soon.
JoAnn worked on a some teeny tiny half square triangles for another project and then made another
Quilted Boxy Corner Pouch. She made one last time too, and loves making them. Everyone was curious as to how they go together.
Julie got the second half of her Lone Star sewn together and the setting corners sewn in. She worked on this quilt the last time she came for UFO Saturday, so it was fun to see her getting it closer to being finished.
Elsie had purchased the Curvy Log Cabin ruler a few months ago I demo-ed it at Cut Up and Quilt, but when she went to use it, she couldn't remember how to use it. She had her strips all cut and ready to start sewing when she got there, so she got quite a few sections made, plus sewed this block together. She is using all pinks for this lovely.
I finished sewing the Henry Glass #LaughLoveQuilt project together yesterday, so now I have to quilt it. I had an idea for a backing, but it didn't work out, so I have to get some fabric today to make a backing. My deadline is looming and not sure it will be finished by Friday.
It took me a bit longer than I thought yesterday as I had to go back to the drawing board when I didn't like the darker print border I had added. It just didn't look right. So eventually, after much thinking and head scratching, I decided on a pieced border. Makes sense.
Sewed more strips together...
Cut out some rectangles too...then came the unsewing....sigh....
It's no fun when a border doesn't go with the quilt. I purchased the perfect border fabric, years ago, and matched the other fabrics to it. When it came time to put on the border, it didn't go with the quilt top (too much white) and I had to search for a new border fabric to use.
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to have a day to sew. You make so much progress on those big projects or can complete a small one. Way to go ladies and gentlemen!
