Just finished this old UFO...
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi! I'm a new member. I just finished this quilt yesterday. It's one my oldest UFOs. It's from a BOM that my old quilt guild (Virginia's QU) had back in 2004. It's been a top for 6-7 years :o. I was never confident about how to quilt it, so I waited 'til I was. I'm trying to finish "all" of my UFOs before I start another quilt. (We'll see how that goes ;))

Stunning! I know you will love sleeping under this one! I am trying to do UFO's as well but can hardly wait to cut out another one! I think I am hopeless...I have finished 3 this year but have 5 to go or is it 6? Sigh!

Great quilt. Let us know how it goes with the UFOs, I need the encouragement.

maryb119 02-07-2013 07:17 AM

Great job! I love the quilt! I finished several UFO's last year. It is sure a good feeling to have them done.

Emma S 02-07-2013 07:23 AM

Wow! Really beautiful! What did you quilt it on (home machine, long arm etc)? The quilting suits it perfectly! I am trying to finish some of my UFO's too. One down and the binding to put on another one. All of mine are bed sized but I have so many to finish I think I can really complete one a month.

Wow! that is beautiful!

Your quilt is so so pretty, I love it.

I looked at that quilt and thought "I've seen it before". Then I realized "That's Kala" and saw your signature. Your *have* to post a picture of your zebra quilt--it's amazing.

This woman (Kala) can applique like you wouldn't believe.

Wonderful work! Sometimes these things just need time to " ripen" . This was worth the wait!

Wow! You did a wonderful job and I guess it needed that rest to come together. Welcome to the board.

Helen S 02-07-2013 01:08 PM

Welcome from Washington State!
Interesting color combination, and the quilting is beautiful. I like it. Nice job

I have two UFO's left to work on, not counting several BOM's, but can't do the BOM's til the new blocks come out each month, so guess I'd have to call those ongoing projects. lol

oma66 02-07-2013 01:38 PM

You can be very proud of what you have done...it is so lovely.

serenitybygrace 02-07-2013 02:42 PM

That's wonderful. One of the nicest basket quilts I have seen.

hopflower 02-07-2013 07:30 PM

Wow! No wonder you took your time with it! It is a very intense piece of art. Absolutely beautiful. I should hope to do something like this one day. I am really going to have to practice.

MDQuilter 02-07-2013 07:35 PM

Thanks everyone for taking the time to respond! It feels really good to get this one done. I quilted it on my home machine. It’s hard work doing it that way, but I have no other choice at the moment. (Or ever...I would LOVE a long arm) It’s not a bed sized quilt, so that made it a lot easier.

I have another ooold BOM (It’s another top) that I want to finish next…It’s even older than this one.

joyce888 02-07-2013 07:36 PM

Very very nice.

Fraew 02-07-2013 09:13 PM
