Four Quilts Done in Less Than A Month's Time
Now that my new studio is organized and tidy (ha! we'll see how long that lasts! 
) I'm zipping through my UFO's. One already went out the door as a Christmas donation to my church - didn't get a photo.
This one was pieced from an assortment of lavender scraps and was originally going to be donated, but my daughter-in-law's mom liked it so much that I gave it to her. I guess that wasn't really a UFO.
This one really isn't a UFO either, but used up fabric I had on hand. I needed a quick throw for the sofa in neutrals and soft blue that wasn't embedded with dog hair. As you can see, I couldn't even measure it without that little stinker getting into the mix. It's called No Dogs On The Couch.
And this is one that was rescued in pieces from the muck after Superstorm Sandy. The top was almost done except for a few strip sets. I washed it again and again and again and removed pieces that were unsalvageable. It was actually inspired by the Amish solid colors in a little quilt I did for the Doll Quilt Swap in August 2012 - just weeks before Sandy. It's a little bigger than twin sized.
Here's the doll quilt.
Stay tuned. I have a vintage roses print UFO in the machine, three king sized tops and a pile of little ones that I hope to finish this winter.
