April UFO Finished!!!
Hey all,
I finished this UFO last night. Yay! It spent a number of years in the UFO stack because I didn't have enough of the fabric that I wanted to use to make the border. Then, last month I found it in one of the skinny bolts on Quilt in a Day's website and pulled it off the pile. Of course, I didn't have enough fabric to do the binding so decided to stitch two together and bind it that way. It is a design by Peggy Martin in her Bluprint class called Quick Strip Paper piecing. I used some specialty quilting rulers for the motif's around the stars that are surrounded with red. Also used my handy dandy straight ruler for the quilting in the white areas, a couple of different circle rulers for the small circles and the specialty ruler that was used in the stars was also used in a different way to do the border design. It's about 57" long and 45' wide. Here's some pics
Thanks for looking,
Rob
