2016 UFO Challenge of the Month

Toot, toot MadQuilter. Lovely finish. Your husband is a lucky fellow.
Finally - my first finish for the year. It is a runner for DH's desk at his work. He loves it. It's all made from scraps and stash. There is a companion piece to be finished next (yes - he has a large corner desk). The quilting doesn't show well but I advanced past simple SID and added some FMQ.

I'd like to join this group. I have a stack of UFO's that need finishing.. oldest being a triple Irish chain which I started hand piecing in mid 1970's. I'm hoping I can absorb some of your enthusiasm and get my quilting mojo back. I haven't done much quilting since May of 2014.

Hop aboard and welcome. We always have room for more. A 40 year old UFO? Wouldn't it be a fantastic acheivement to finish it! How far along are you in the piecing? Do you plan to hand quilt it? Would really enjoy seeing a picture.

I also do a lot of FMQ on them in order to get texture and to make some areas recede and other areas pop forward.
Don't stress about doing these projects, they are very forgiving. Think of it as play, you're playing with materials and techniques to see what will happen--since it's play you can't mess up. Send me a PM when you decide to get started if you have any questions about how to do something.

Sweet water quilter. A crumb quilt is made using tiny leftover pieces of fabric (fabric crumbs) that are stitched together however you can get them to go. The reason I'm calling the one I want to get to next a modern quilt is that I've taken all the crumbs that I've stitches and cut them into blocks which are then distributed around a background that consists of off-white and white on white fill strips. I've just gotten it sandwiched and ditched. If I can get the time to FMQ it I'll post it here since it is a UFO. The individual crumb pieces have been sitting around my studio for a couple of years waiting for me to decide how I wanted to arrange them.
