UFO #10 (April) - DONE
I have to admit that the UFO I finished was not #10 on my original list--it is actually #8 on my B list of UFOs! What can I say?! I walked into my sewing/quilting room and saw the bowl (my husband does wood turning so I have a lot of wood bowls in my room!) full of Christmas Dresden plate blades in various states of completion--and decided that I needed to get them out of the way and into a completed top. So that's what I did. This was truly a UFO!! I made 3 Dresden plate/fan quilts last year with Chrismas fabric, and had leftover blades, some of which were already sewn together for plates. I tried to give my extras to my sister, and she said she had too many projects already started. I decided one more would be fine, and proceeded--and now it's done. I still had some leftover "blades," but a quilting buddy wants to make a Dresden plate quilt and I will gift them to her--yea!! Used quite a bit of my Christmas stash, too. Backing and binding are made.

Pat,
ReplyDeleteYour Dresden Plates look beautiful! I just bought a kit for my mother (a novice piecer) to make a lap quilt in this design (Moda's Milk Chocolate Bars) and I hope that hers comes out just as nicely. I can't wait to show a picture of your quilt to her! Nicely done!
That is such a pretty Christmas quilt and a great idea for using up Christmas fabrics. You should be proud.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use leftovers. The quilt is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAnd a wonderful Dresden Plate it is - love the variety of colors and thank you for sharing it with us. Judy C n NC
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful quilt. And I say a finished UFO project is always an accomplishment. No matter which list it was on, it's not on that list anymore!
