It’s Time to Turn Project Quilt UFOs into Finished Products What is a Quilt UFO? You know those projects that are just sitting there on a shelf, in a closet, or in a tote? Those projects you start but never finish? Sometimes life gets in the way; sometimes, you just lose interest in it. Nevertheless, it is that time of year again, time to look at the pile of projects that are calling your name…
2023 Completed UFOs – Quilts in Review This year has been quite a year for Quilt UFO completion. I was barely hanging on at the end of the summer into the early fall to meet the challenge each month. Somehow I managed to pull it through and finish each project I selected, along with several others. I also added about six more quilts to the list for machine quilting and almost as many to my…
Time for the Next Quilt UFO Buster Number Each month I am surprised by how fast that last day came up. I was working on October’s Quilt UFO right up to the last minute. Nothing like a deadline to keep you motivated. Ultimately, the sense of accomplishment was still there. It’s almost time to look back at what has been completed in 2023. My project piles are looking a bit slimmer, but there is still…
Quilt UFO Project Number While rocking my sleeping granddaughter and enjoying some quiet time, I realize that this is the first day of September. I have no idea where the month of August went. Blink, and the month is gone. Hopefully, you are fitting some quilting time in around your summer activities. My quilting time is usually in the evenings as a way to escape the stress of the day. If lucky, I can squeeze…
Quilt UFO Buster Welcome to August, everyone! I still can’t believe that my summer is half over. I am never very productive quilting-wise in the summer – too many irons in the fire. But I am ready to start my August Quilt UFO. I bet you are wondering what number was drawn. Quilt UFO Buster #8 How appropriate is #8 for the 8th month? I was excited to work on this project, but I have…
Quilt UFO Buster Update for July 2023 As we are coming to the end of July, which I have no idea where the time went, it is time to talk about progress. This month I had no idea if I would finish or not. Life has been full, and trying to schedule bathroom breaks has been difficult. July’s Quilt UFO is finished as of today. For once, I am grateful for the weather that kept…
July Quilt UFO Number In June, my quilt UFO project was to finish a flannel frayed edge lap quilt. At first, I thought it would be challenging to fit it in. My summer schedule is absolutely ridiculous, but even with a half hour here and there, I was able to get the quilt finished. I have a new one on my machine now that I need to finish before I can complete this month’s Buster.…
June Quilt UFO Number Where did the month of May go? How are we doing with finding time to work on your quilt UFO? I cut it close this month, and it was down to the wire. The quilt top is finished, just waiting for hand quilting. I used the remaining blocks to create a pillow to go with it. There will be accent buttons added, placed strategically to hide any points that are less…
Quilt UFO update for May 2023 This month, the outside chores really cut into my Quilt UFO Buster project. As of this post, I am about 75% complete. The hope is to find a couple of hours on Saturday morning to complete it or at least the top. There were leftover blocks, so I added a pillow to match. May’s project still makes my heart sing. Where will this quilt live when it is done?…
