February – Quilt UFO Buster Update
To recap – Have you picked your projects for your Quilt UFO Buster list? See this post for more information, but the basic idea is to pick twelve projects and number them from one to twelve. Each month I will announce the number to work on. Below is the pdf to track your progress on your quilt project list. Just a few minutes a day for the Quilting UFO challenge.
January’s Quilt UFO – How did you do?
Before I get to the number drawn, how did you do on your January projects? Remember, any progress is forward progress. There will be months that I will struggle to finish my project due to being pulled in multiple directions. We all know that life gets in the way sometimes. My sewing room is my escape from stress, but then my regular stuff gets ignored. Ultimately, it is all about finding the balance that works for you.
Quilt UFO – February’s Number is 9
This month, we will be working on Number 9! I hope it is a fun one for you all!
The positive for me this month is my number 9 is all cut out. “YAY!!”
The negative for me this month, there isn’t a pattern with it. “Oh, man!”
Focusing on finishing the blocks will be the priority; thank goodness there is one already done! From what I am seeing, it looks like pieced sashings or a pieced border. Plain blocks are also the same size as the pieced blocks. No, sweating the small stuff; I love the colors, so I am sure I will like the results.
First, I will finish all the pieced blocks. Then I will play with possible layouts with the plain and pieced blocks. Finally, I will give the pieced border a shot. I will need to find a day when the pups are content to sleep so I can lay this all out on the floor.
