I'm kind of embarrassed to post right after another one of WMUTeach's amazing finishes, but I'm happy to share this quilt I made to protect the back seat of our car when we have the dog in there. I've shared a picture of it installed (with elastic straps that go around the headrests). This 9P top was made in the early 2000s, back when I didn't really have any quilting fabric per se and just used whatever I had access to because I didn't know what I was doing! There are bits of silk, flannel, rayon (I think), polyester, upholstery samples, sheets, and a few pieces of actual quilting cotton in there. Unsurprisingly, it sat in a box or bag for 20 years or so until I had an epiphany and realized it would be perfect for this use. I shared a bit more in the Fabric Moratorium thread (where you can see "proper" pictures), but figured a 20-year old flimsy definitely qualifies as a UFO completion!

Every quilt has a purpose!! I bet your pooch doesn't even notice that the quilt was a beginner's attempt. And protecting the seat with your nine patches, well why not! Congrats on your 20 year UFO finish!.
I will take a peek at the Fabric Moratorium photos. See you there.

(The quilt was all from stash and I finished it during this month's Virtual Quilting Weekend.)

Such lovely quilt finishes. I’m sure the fur babies Ike the extra padding in the back seat. My fur babies like all of my quilts no matter where I had them (bed, couches, cars, etc).
FYI, I plan to ho tho site again next year.

Well, I am finally getting to work or piece this pattern that I have been carrying around with me for the last three years. I seen it on the QB a few years back and I ask the original poster of the quilt for the pattern, and she was kind enough to share her source of the pattern. Then I never got a chance to settle down to make it until now. Hooray, y'all it feels so good piecing again. Now, remember I am visiting here in Kansas for a few weeks and my Cousin loan me a machine and I am really getting something done. My Cousin helped motivate me the other day and I going full steam ahead. This really feels good, I know it's not a true UFO, but to have a pattern so long that the edge starts to curl up on you it's a UFO

Good afternoon UFO'ers, I am so proud of myself I am making so much progress that I have sewn all the fabric that I brought with me to get into this project. This a first for me in a very long time. Does it ever feel good to have this much progress. Now I have to wait for a chance to get back to the LQS. That is another journey and another story to tell, I will work that one out later
Happy Sew-day everyone--cherryb
