Here we have 36 star blocks for Opening Day! Making them wasn't too bad, except for trying to starch the already pieced units. I did switch over to Mary Ellen's Best Press, and it is working pretty well. The fabric doesn't get as stiff as I like, but you know what that product is brilliant […]
Now that my green Don't Fence Me In quilt is a finish, I thought I had better stick to my goals and pick a UFO to work on for March. As I went through my bins of UFOs, I came to a halt when I saw my red blocks from the Lori Holt/Bee In My […]
Well, I did it. Here is "Don't Fence Me In", an old pattern by Miss Rosie's Quilt Company, made with a collection of fabrics by Andover called "Lucky Charms". I am super pleased with how it turned out and will order backing for it and get it sent off for quilting. It will be fun […]
"Don't Fence Me In", a pattern by Carrie Nelson/Miss Rosie's Quilt Co. Fabric is Lucky Charms by Andover Fabrics. I finished my 81 blocks! These blocks are so fast and easy and I highly recommend this block for a scrappy quilt in just about any colorway. I hope to sew all the blocks together this […]
I am happy to tell you that I finished my second UFO of 2023! This is the Star-Studded Event quilt, started in the summer of 2018. This was a block-of-the-week kit/program sponsored by Primitive Gatherings. The pattern is now available on their website. It's a great scrap quilt project, and once you get those center […]
This is my UFO for February. I thought I had more blocks to make, but the quilt is vast, and I think I have enough blocks made to cover my queen-sized bed nicely, with overhang. So I started laying out the blocks and sewing together the top few rows. I think I love this quilt. […]
This is my first UFO finish for 2023. I had promised myself that I would finish one UFO each month this year, so I am off to a good start. The quilt is a pattern by Primitive Gatherings called Take It Easy. The fabric was one or two jelly rolls of a past (really pretty) […]
Well, friends, it seems that I may indeed finish a UFO for the month of January! I picked the Take It Easy quilt project I had started heaven knows how long ago, and tackled finishing up the blocks. All blocks are made, and all border blocks are made. This week, actually today and tomorrow I […]
Have you made a list of your UFOs and started tackling them? My January UFO is Take It Easy, a jelly roll quilt pattern by Primitive Gatherings. I started it a couple of years ago and it has been sitting in a project box half finished for a while. I do love a red and […]
Does anyone remember this UFO? It is a pattern called Take It Easy by Primitive Gatherings that uses one or two jelly rolls. I don't know if you can still get the pattern. I checked on their website and couldn't find it. I chose it for my January UFO Challenge. I decided I couldn't be […]
