5 quilt September 2, 2024

  last report July 31, 2024

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 was able to finish some oldies but goodies and some that hadn't lived in the to be quilted closet very long. My goal for the year was to seriously make a dent in my quilts that needed to be quilted and I have. I started with 34 and I have 6 ready, now. Of course, as I finish an older ufo it also needs to be quilted.

 I finished 6 ufos in August. 29 ufos for 2024

In August,  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 August. I finished....

1. neutral territory  from 2013 is finished

48 x 60

2. cathedral stars finished this year My one monthly goal for August

85 x 85

I worked on these older Ufos to finish them

1. garlic knots -ready for quilting

2. scrappy twirl new in March -I just can't seem to take this quilt seriously. Maybe I should put it back in the box. But, no, I will not be intimidated,  I am leaving it on my design wall and will wait patiently for inspiration.

4. halloween stripe runner from the beginning- top is ready for quilting

5. kaliedescope - mary huey workshop -ready for borders

6. cheddar jubilee -  adding borders

one monthly goal

neutral territory finish

Neutral territory is an older ufo from 2013. My local quilt shop carried this line of fabric and had a free pattern. I really liked the shop sample and bought what I would need to make it. The colors are rich and satisfying. The pattern was easy. I chose it for the 5 quilts project last month and had a chance to finish it this month. It doesn't look like any of my latest quilts, so it was a fun change.

48 x 60 = 8 yards

I used flannel for the backing and sewing machine to bind it.

My quilt infatuation

tops finished

I have finished 2 ufos to the top stage before the end of the month. They are pressed, backs are pieced, binding is prepared, and they are on their way to the 'to be quilted' closet.

Neutral territory is an older ufo from 2013. It was in the ufo closet waiting for a decision about borders. It was an easy decision, especially at the end of the month, to not do borders. It will be great as is. It just needs quilting which I hope I will get to in August.

I have worked on lozenges for a bit and it is pieced and ready to quilt. I will add this to the quilting closet, too.

A new color

Wow, July 1st. I am caught up with yellow for the rainbow scrap challenge, and just trying to put some of the other pineapple blossom blocks together.
Our new July color is blue. I don't need blue in any of the rainbow quilts I have started so I will work on my floating stars quilt that is blue for July.

This is a pattern by a fabric manufacturer called neutral territory. I bought the kit a few years ago. There were 4 different blocks with different fabrics. I followed each step and the chart for putting it together. I like it as a whole, but I don't see much pattern in the pattern. sigh...

Oh my goodness I love this fabric ... and the candy. Who could resist either?
