I'm on a mission to clean up UFO's (Unfinished Offerings to the Arts) this winter. (20 + more to go, ugh)

Wedge Quilt finished and hanging.

Gratitude to the Dancer

Stumbling blocks

They're lovely. Can't wait to see the rest of them. Teh he! Teh he! I have two quilts, one double and one queen to layer and quilt and I'm working on two handpieced quilts, one in hexagons and six pointed stars and the other a paper pieced grandmothers flower garden. Both are for me and they're queen size. I have fabric for a trip quilt made from fabric I bought when in OK in Oct. but I've told myself I won't cut a piece until the others are done. Sigh! I've been known to lie!!!! It's screaming at me, "make me, make me."

..I can relate! I have to have several projects going at one time.

Wow, those sound like quilts that will take some work and time. What are you using for the backing for your paper pieced quilt? I love paper piecing but do not like taking all the paper off after I am done...that can make me procrastinate for a long time.

A local club has volunteered to quilt our Kid's Club queen size quilt for us!
This is it now:

Wow...nice work by the Kid's Club. I like the way the log cabin blocks were turned to make a zigzag path through the quilt. I bet they are pretty darn happy with the quilt too...that takes a lot of work and effort!

Close to a year's worth of work in that between last years group and this year's group. It was donated to us and part of the blocks were already put together so we had to finish the rest and assemble it.

WOW! and double WOW!!! That is fantastic. Thumbs up to all that worked on it.

I must really love my Kid's Club,, we are making rag quilts and after doing measurements and counting squares for 27 members,,, We have to cut close to 3000 squares,,,, 8" of course,, so I'm going to convince some of them to do smaller quilts!!!!!
