I try to work on these 5 quilts until they are done. Their turn in the UFO closet is over, and, they need to be finished one way or another.
It's good to add a few completions to my 5 quilt report this time. I'm finding it harder to keep too many quilts going at the same time. This year's ufo list has fewer near finishes, and more projects barely started.

Hollow nine - rainbow scrap challenge from 2023 that needs the border appliqued. I have cut the flowers and the stem is ready. I just need to attach. This is still on the list for 2026, but, I haven't worked on it lately.

I sewed 6 days last week.
I took my last block for my applique project - across the wide missourri- to Friday sew and started tracing and cutting. I have done a cabin before and I am not looking forward to that part, so I will do it first.
While I was working on my huge Christmas in new England rug hooking project. I did not want to carry it back and forth to guild every week. The huge rug weighs a ton. I found this topically relevant rug kit in my stash, and, decided to take it back and forth with me to guild. It weighs less and is easily folded and stored in a smaller bag. The strips came already cut. No thinking, just hooking needed. It wasn't a high priority. But, is is convenient.
This is the older ufo I chose to add for this month's rainbow scrap aqua color. It has waited a long time. When I opened the box, I realized that there isn't anything started. In other words, it is some fabric and a pattern. It isn't a real priority. what to do...
I think I am going to put this one back in the box. And work on my other projects this month.
Last month's ufo two bits has 2 rows together.

I took candy chains, to Friday sew with all the pieces cut and ready to sew. I thought I had all I needed, but I can't count. I was only able to sew 5 of these and parts of the others.
I made 1 block for the stashbuster quilt. I couldn't wait to see how it was going to look. I still need to make more row units to get a good variety.

While I was in Florida, I made the top for blue skies. I started this quilt in 2016 when Bonnie Hunter's string book was published. I made all the string blocks, and it became a ufo. Last year, I worked on it for the rainbow scrap challenge, but, when I opened the book and saw that I would need a gazillion small hsts, I decided to take what I had and run with it. I would have loved making the hsts back when I started it, but, not now. I feel like I have too many higher priority quilts I want to finish.
I even went to thrift stores for cotton shirts to add the borders. Now, it is finished and off the list.

Last week, I mentioned my fabric room had been my Granddaughters's room for 3 years. And, that, I had not been able to use my "nice" fabric. I needed a binding for a quilt in progress. Tada meet the first fabric that has come out to play.
