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?…
Quilt UFO Buster: May 2023 How are you doing on this year-long endeavor to finish some quilt projects? It is time for a new Quilt UFO to work on – ready to find out what number has been pulled for May? Remember, it isn’t about being perfect; it is about making forward progress and working on projects.

April Quilt UFO Number Are you ready for April’s number? We have made it through the first three months of 2023. How’s your progress coming on your quilt ufo list? Remember, this is supposed to be a fun way to motivate us to finish some of the projects on our list. Making a game out of it helps to bring out my competitive side. The Number Drawn: 1 The number drawn for April is number…
Quilt UFO Buster Update I am checking in to see how everyone is doing with March’s Quilt UFO Buster. With the help of a friend sharing a quilting weekend, I can say that mine is complete. Honestly, I probably would have given up on it several times without our little “quilt retreat.” It has been a while since I have felt that way about a project. This month I worked on a Row by Row…
