UFO Report 2022 - #3
These posts were already done and scheduled before ‘everything’ started happening here - will update on the refugee situation and what I’ve been doing - on Monday. This may settle into being a long refugee situation. Thank you, again, everyone, for your help..
So…back to what I had already planned for today.
Baggie #2 held squares - browns/reds which ended up being 6”-6.5” squares - this is what I did with them -
I did get a chance to finish up the top of my second little baggie of little squares - that I thought were 6.5” but not all were the same. I then changed my idea to making wonky blocks.
I got the top together - and here it is. It is now 94.5”x94.5” - so quite large! This really wasn’t my intention when I started on these UFOs. I had thought to just make them smallish and get them finished.
But….
So what do I think of it? In the end, I like it.
With these squares, some of them were prettier than others. I decided to just not worry about it, though, and made what I had at the time and didn’t switch out any of my squares to improve the collection.
I decided that at least with these particular squares, I didn’t want to start switching them out for better fabrics or I would quickly lose the “point” of using them up as they had been collected together.
This one ended up being large as I mentioned it before - it is a nice queen size - 94.5”x94.5”. We currently have a quilt about that size on our bed - queen size bed. It works fine.
Just as an example of the next two baggies that I have - these will be the next two things I will begin to work on - gotta make some plans and forward progress.
I originally had wanted this to be a rag quilt - though this is regular cotton. But this is a Christmas poinsettia - a beautiful one.
I will probably do something like this but may put the hst on the edges to make it more 3D than it is already.
This is a bag of 1/5” strips which I wanted to make into a small Vintage Chain quilt - made from thirties feed sack fabrics. Not sure if the feed sacks are real or not, but I like the colors on them!
This project will last over many weeks. I have the design already - as I wanted to make a small one of these shown below.
This pattern is so fast to make, that I will be able to get this one do reasonably quickly.
With regards to the burgundy poinsettias, I may just made a simple shadowed quilt featuring those beautiful prints. It would make up a super quick and easy Christmas quilt - which is my kind of seasonal quilts! :)
And there you go - that’s my UFO report - I did finish up that baggie of the browns/reds - so another one gone out of my cabinet! Yeah!
Thanks for coming along with me on my quilting journey with me!
