Category: Finish It
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 […]
Is that something you believe? I'm going to be controversial today and say that I am not sure I fully agree that "finished is better than perfect". I follow a couple of Facebook Groups, Sewcialites being one of them, and so I regularly see people proudly post pictures of their weekly blocks. Blocks where they […]
I finished all the setting and border units for the Moda Blockheads 4 setting. Sewing and trimming up those quarter square triangle units took forever. The flying geese were a weird size. 2 3/4 x 5 1/2 unfinished (2 1/4 x 5 finished). I was perplexed on how to make them until I discovered good […]
Yesterday I sewed quarter square triangles and began the process of trimming them. My goodness, this is going to take a while. I am using a five-and-a-half-inch square ruler to trim them down to 5 inches square. The center point of the unit has to hit right at the 2 1/2-inch mark on the ruler, […]
It felt wonderful to squeeze in some sewing on Sunday afternoon. Not much, just an hour or so, but I really needed the escape. I will be making a lot of flying geese units and quarter square triangle units for the setting layout for my Moda Blockheads 4 quilt. I am pretty excited about it […]
