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. My top priority this year are the quilts in the to be quilted closet.
I love to piece. I've noticed that a quilt lives a long time in the ufo closet for one of two reasons. Borders and quilting. I can almost piece a quilt in the same amount of time it takes to go from borders to finishing. And there were, are, so many inspirational quilts available to do.
I finished 6 ufos in June.
In June I wanted to finish 2 quilts In the 'to be quilted closet' before I did any other UFOs. I did the two I planned for June. I finished....
1. maple leaves - finished which I gave to a dear friend
 |
| 64 x72 |
2. love jelly roll - My one monthly goal for June - is finished
 |
| 48 x 52 |
I worked on these older Ufos to finish them
1. scrappy mountain majesties is finished
 |
| 65 x72 |
 |
| 56 x 68 |
1. cathedral stars - It is an older ufo from 2016, a Bonnie hunter pattern. the top is finished and sent to the to be quilted closet.

| windy day |
2. scrappy twirl new in March - I have all the blocks pieced or so I thought. I want it to be bigger and will add a few more blocks and will start the rows. I am really dragging my feet on this one. That is what happens when I didn't have a plan at the start.
3. garlic knots - I have started building the borders while I am joining the rows. I cut many of the pieces for the sashings and borders last year for the rainbow scrap challenge according to the color of the month. It has been really nice to have the pieces ready to go.

| corner blocks |
4. dark strings needed a border- from string quilt revival book - finished and sent to the to be quilted closet.
5. lozenges are the 2014 quiltville leader/ ender challenge- I have all the blocks and need to assemble the quilt top

Wow! You sure kept your sewing machine going. Lovely quilts, all of them. I've always loved Cathedral Stars (and will make my own one day) but Scrappy Mountain is gorgeous! Good luck with your goals for July. Enjoy! ;^)
ReplyDeleteWow - lots of finishes! Good for you! You have some beautiful projects going. My closet is full of UFOs too, including several needing to be quilted.
ReplyDeleteYou've gotten a lot done with your 5 quilts project! I have the same problem - love to piece the blocks, borders and quilting not so much. Good luck with your list this week!
ReplyDeleteI’m very impressed with you progress. I’m trying to clear out some of my tops in my closet too. I doubt if I’m making a dent as I keep finishing blocks into tops. I tend to like piecing more than the quilting and binding. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLots of wonderful progress this month. It must feel so good to get things moving. You have some ambitious goals for July! Here's to the completion!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! You've been really busy, and making loads of progress. Congratulations on your beautiful finishes.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and Good luck! I hope you are successful with your goals.
ReplyDeleteGreat projects underway and finished, as always. You've got a big list for July but I have no doubt you'll get it done. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.
