Other February Progress

UFO List 1: All People Quilt UFO Challenge #8 - Project "S" from 2012! Sew Happy Geek QAL GOAL: Quilt and square it up. Find the Binding. Its on the Quilt frame. I've done the feathered boarder and am doing the horizontal sashing -- all vertical sashing is done. Then I have the 12 blocks to quilt. Binding was with the Quilt. I won't quite be finished tomorrow, but it did get loaded on the frame, and progress was made.
UFO List 1 #8:   On the longarm!
Other progress was made this month.... I started, completed and donated 2 preemie quilts, to my quilt guilds challenge "Sea to Sky".




Here are photos of some of the projects I worked on from my 2017 Project List.  I also worked on:

  • Project L:  Centre of top assembled, need 8 9-patches for outer side sashing
  • Project I-4:  12 blocks sashed, need trimming

Project M: Quilting Finished

Project I-1: Borders Added

Project I-3: Top Pieced.

Project I-1:  My block

Project H:  Piecing steps 8 & 9 continue

February UFO Progress


UFO List 2 #9 Maple Leaf Block: As I'd feared, my block was missing the centre "triangle" pattern piece. The cat had pulled it out from the stack and attacked it.....

Current Status:  I have cut out the binding, and 2 more borders.  I need to pickup some solid white fabric for a narrow border, but have the rest ready to go.  

Elm Street QuiltsGoal:  My goal was to figure out whether this was worth saving.  I saved it, and finished the centre block.  Hope to get it to lap size, and quilt it for my dad.   Think I'll need to find some red, black and white backing....

Finished Paper Piece  (without the Centre Block)

Created the Centre block!

Adding Borders

Now 30" square.... 


I am still planning on getting to the longarm. It has the UFO List 1 #6 on it! So it is ready to quilt!

Not a UFO! February Preemie Quilt

My quilt guild does a February Preemie Quilt Challenge.  This year the theme is Sea to Sky.... So this week I remembered!  Meeting was supposed to be tonight, but the meeting was rescheduled until next week due to snow.  That's ok because my quilt just needs the binding stitched down.  I will finish that tonight while watching a movie....
Airplanes

Sailboats

Layout....
Basted!   Another quilt is on the longarm,
so I basted this one, to quilt on my sewing machine.
