Now that my Christmas presents are finished, I’ve started working on a UFO project for my husband that’s been in the works for several years. I drew these paper-pieced blocks on my computer when I was learning to use Powerpoint many years ago. It’s my own design, and I called it “Strip Stripe.” If I [...]

For Judy’s Quiltathon this week, I’m working on a UFO project of 4-inch squares in cheerful sunflower prints. I can’t remember what these squares were for, but they’re cute. Today I have sewn them into 4-patch blocks and arranged them in sewing order on my design wall. This is going to be a small quilt, [...]

What bliss! I’ve been sewing every single day this week! I have now finished 58 patriotic blocks, and I made a second recycled bath mat. I also did some mending, cut out a pair of pyjamas for my little girl and started basting a lap quilt that’s been waiting in my stack of UFO tops. [...]
“Pinky Girl” on the Design Wall
Posted in Design Wall Monday, UFOs, tagged 9-patch borders, Design Wall Monday, pink UFO quilt, Quilt Design Wizard software, quilting, Sewing on May 3, 2010 | 10 Comments »
This is what my “Pinky Girl” quilt is going to look like when it’s finished — sort of. I had to improvise on some of the block designs in the drawing. It’s a good representation, anyway. I drew this with my Quilt Design Wizard software, which makes a nice change from my usual method of [...]
Spring Break Fabrics (Stash Report)

We had a lovely holiday with our family, lots of beautiful sunny weather and fun activities. Since we were in the area, I went to The Quilt Room, which is a lovely quilt shop in Dorking, Surrey, and bought some fabrics to continue with my purple-orange-green UFO. I had got to the point where I [...]
Pinks on the Design Wall

I’m still working on my ancient pink UFO which is getting a total makeover, and I’m having so much fun with it! There is no formal pattern — it’s just 12 salvaged sampler blocks, and I’m making it up as I go along. The cornerstones and sashings are finished. And now I’m making 9-patch blocks [...]
Week 11 Update – “Too Good to Cut” Challenge

It was another week with very little time for sewing. When I did get a chance to sew, I was totally obsessed with my pink UFO Makeover quilt and only sewed on that. I did look through the basket with my Challenge fabrics and bits of blocks but didn’t feel inspired to work on that [...]
UFO of the Month (Design Wall Monday)
Posted in Design Wall Monday, UFOs, tagged Design Wall Monday, quilting, Sampler Quilt, sashings and cornerstones, Sewing, UFO makeover, UFO quilts on March 15, 2010 | 10 Comments »
I’m trying to finish — or at least make significant progress – on one unfinished quilt top per month. This Sampler Quilt is my second-oldest UFO and one of my first efforts, from probably 15 or 16 years ago. This was a finished quilt top, but the sashing and border fabrics never matched the blocks [...]
The Return of the UFOs

It’s time to get back to the business of UFOs. My stats page tells me that people searching for “Roswell” (New Mexico) are sometimes directed to this blog by their search engines. Poor people — what a surprise they must get if they are not expecting Close Encounters with Unfinished Objects of the Quilting Kind! [...]
