2013 UFO Therapy Thread - Sister Thread to 2013 UFO Challenge of the Month
#362
I think this is a good place for me. What do I have to do to take part? UFO's, PIG's, and all the likes....I have so many idea's so little time... I'm always thinking 2 steps ahead of my self, and I'm stitching 3 steps behind.
Currently working on a wedding quilt for DD. I'm stuck on making the back. (and I haven't finished the front yet...Still have to put on the boarders) Want to do a pachwork for the back, but everytime I go to start cutting fabric I FREEZE. I have calulated all my measurements, but! My head says, Do I have enough fabric, what if I make a calulation error, cutting error....Oh! My! I guess I will quiet my stitching demons and just start. thanks for the E ear.

Still unhappy with my diagonal strip blocks so I put them away for now and started quilting DDs blue and green carpenters wheel quilt. Got the SID for the main portion done and decided to get adventurous and do a bit of embellishment in the background blocks around the star and the wheel. Nothing fancy - not that adventurous yet - but I'm liking the darker blue diamonds on the pale blue background. Will post pic when I get done with the diamonds. Then to figure out what to do on the borders.

Kaelyn: Did not see your "humility" block, love the name. Thats why I always ask someone to take a look because I seem to be blind to a misplaced block.

Kaelyn--looking good! I think a blue border will be a good choice. I too often don't see things wrong in my projects until I take a picture.
Looking forward to seeing pictures of others current progress.
My April UFO is coming along. The quilting in the blocks is done. I need to add borders and bind...should be able to finish up this week. Then I will be working on a quilt for a friend of DH's...the friend is a pilot so I am pp'ing some airplanes and alternating with 4-patch blocks (these are done)...then a narrow border and a border of "propeller" blocks. It will be time consuming, but will be much appreciated when finished.
