Welcome, dungeonquilter! We look forward to your finished UFOs whenever they happen.

I finished the UFO top found in a donation. I included a few pictures from start to finish. It will be added to my church quilter’s pile.

The first picture shows the copies of typewritten and handwritten directions along with the numbered fabric swatches. The title says 6 Hour Quilt, Trip Around World. ( no ‘the’).

The second picture shows the assembled 4” squares. I put matching strips together and labeled number. Most of these seams were 1/4” but some needed to be resewn. Some other squares in the center were sewn with 2 different sizes together and 1/2” seam allowance, coarse thread, and almost a basting stitch. 🤷‍♀️ I took those apart and used the 4” squares for the quilt top.

The third picture has the various strips in the step before I started to assemble in a jumbled up way. Good thing I had the pattern to figure it out.

The last picture is of the finished quilt. 70” by 80”. The borders came from my stash.

I’m happy I could honor the unknown quilter by finishing the top. A few puckers here and there but seams matched up better than I could hope.
