5 quilt August 1, 2025

last report June 27, 2025

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.

There is not much change on this report, but, it still helps me keep track.

I finished 1 ufo in July - 8 th for the year

Strip twist jelly roll surprise is finished

60 x 68

I worked on these older Ufos to finish them:

scrappy twirl - I have prepared the border and need to add it to the top. As I was digging through project boxes looking for a quilt, I discovered an entire batch of cut pieces for scrappy twirl. That changes everything. I kept wondering why the near -finished top was so small. Apparently, I cut most of the quilt and put it in a box. But, I needed more, so, I cut a smaller batch, and put them in a different box. I have been making lists of my options to finish, and I am exhausted with the whole project. I am retiring this quilt for another day.

scrappy snowballs -2 inch scrap block. It was my one monthly goal for June to have a top. It didn't get done. I have all the rows made, and ready to assemble. These are 2 out of 4 blocks per row. I will make it my one monthly goal for August to have a top.

hollow nine - rainbow scrap challenge from 2023 that needs the border -Which I intend to applique. I need more flowers cut in a variety of colors. I think I am about ready to do that.

holy toledo - I have all the blocks made, and then, sewn into 4sies. Now, it is time for rows.

orange spiderweb it is quilted and ready for binding.

My July PHD report

scrap cutting

I have added another goal to the 5 quilts project. I want to take one day a month and cut scraps. I will have plenty to choose from since I really didn't cut any for 2024, and the bags of uncut scraps are piling up, all over the fabric room.

I missed 2 Fridays in July for open sew, so, I did not cut any scraps for July

quilts to be quilted:

1. orange spiderweb

2. wedding ring I have had this ready for a few years, but, I am afraid to quilt it myself. I want it to be special and I don't do special. So I will work to talk my self into it..... some day

Looking forward to August - I hope I get more accomplished

last report May 30, 2025

I finished 1 ufo in June - 7th for the year

scrappy twirl - I have prepared the border and need to add it to the top.

hollow nine - rainbow scrap challenge from 2023 that needs the border -Which I intend to applique. fingers crossed.

broken dishes made with civil war fabrics I am not sure I am finishing this. I decided to postpone this ufo for another time.

I replaced it with a scrappy snowballs -2 inch scrap block. This ufo had more pieces ready for quicker sewing. This is my one monthly goal for June to have a top. I can still get it done. I have a Friday sew and an open sew this weekend. If I concentrate, it might happen. But concentration has not been my long suit lately.

holy toledo - I have all the blocks made, and then, sewn into 4sies. Now, it is time for rows.

My June PHD report

scrap cutting

I have finished cutting the 9 pound box of shirts. This time the cut pieces weighed 3 pounds 6 ounces which is 10 1/2 yards of useable fabric. The total yardage for the box was 26 1/2 yards of useable fabric. For the year, the total is 35 yards of useable fabric. And I had fun socializing while I was doing it -bonus.

Looking forward to July - I am disappointed at my progress this month

5 quilt progress

I have decided on the border I want for my scrappy twirl quilt. I am not sure about the corners, yet.

While I was digging around, trying to find some wool for my rug hooking project, I found 2 missing quilts in a tub. I had given them up for lost. 1st is a quiltville pattern called oklahoma backroads. Which is in rows, and will need assembly.

The 2nd quilt is a top called chunky churndash. Also a quiltville pattern.

I have made more blocks for holy toledo

My zipper quilt is on the frame.

progress monday

I have the side borders finished that make them a straight line for my scrappy twirl quilt.

And, this is the plan for the top and bottom borders. This quilt is my own design and has been a headache from the start. I started out with 2 objectives. Use a seldom used template set - scrap crazy 6, and use up a pile of scraps from another quilt project. I thought I was so clever to combine the two. Geesh. A goal without a plan is a wish. And I wish I had had a plan LOL.

Because I had a long open sew day, I grabbed the easiest project on my ufo list to take, that would definitely last all day. This quilt is a Holy Toledo quiltville pattern from the book shirts and scraptails 2. It was all cut and ready to chain sew. I enjoyed the day sending fabric through the machine.

5 quilt December 30, 2024

last report December 2, 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.

This report finishes 2024. I will have 3 quilts I will carry over into 2025. But, I will rearrange them to feel like I am starting fresh with the new year. My goal is to quilt each finish each ufo - quilted and bound before I move to the next quilt. But, I will have 5 quilts again that I can work on as I have opportunity. The variety helps keep it interesting while not overwhelming.

I finished 1 ufo in December for a total of 41 for the year -I have a page at the top of the blog for 2024 finishes.

I worked on these older Ufos to finish them

1. midnight flight - my one monthly goal for December was to finish and I barely made it.

84 x 84

2. scrappy twirl -assemble rows -I cut the border pieces

3. tiny tuesday -I am making 8 rows

4. charming stars - I gave the blocks away to guild

5. kaleidoscope quilt- border- This was missing and is now found again

I am ready to start fresh with all new projects for 2025. I used a random number generator and chose 26 ufos from my list. I added the last 3 of 2024 ufos that were not finished to list as well.
