I think that this UFO is four years old. I made one for my nephew, Levi and quilted his name into the squares. I had enough fabric to do two at the time, but somehow this one languished without purpose or deadline. As I dig deeper into my piles (the goal is to rediscover the floor) I am trying to finish an old UFO and alternate with a Newer stash using project. My last UFO was kind of both ... and I have another UFO that is in border-stage. I had to unpick one edge of the border that tripped me up for awhile.

I love it! I want to see more of your UFO's:)

I think your idea is fantastic and how I would do UFOs instead of "nonstop" like some are doing.

What a great way to get quilt projects completed - alternate the new with a UFO...gotta get reprogrammed! The quilt really is pretty!

Looks very similar to one I'm doing for my granddaughter right now. So of course I like your quilt, especially the bright colors against the white.

Love the pattern and the colors! Great job!!

Jaos 04-27-2011 04:43 PM

Very nice. I love the bright colors. The backing fabric really suits it. I see a music note quilted on one of the squares. What did you put on the other squares?

Beautiful = and an inspiration for a bunch of bright colors I've been wondering how best to use! Thanks for sharing.

FYI ... 12 colors of each of the primary & secondary colors Dk Red/Med Red/Dk Orange/Med Orange/Dk Yellow/Med Yellow/Dk Green/Med Green/Dk Blue/Light Blue/Dk Purple/ Med Purple
8" squares and the strips & small squares are 2" ... for 7.5" & 1.5" finished. Works up fairly quickly once you have the variety of colors.
Oh and amounts ... (1) 8" square and 22" of the 2" strip for each color ... Haven't measured the background fabric as it is one of my nuetral print on prints that I keep plenty of around.

I like it! It's cheerful and I love the way you put the smaller squares in between as sashing!

I am all for color. My guess is that you are too.
