Quiltmouse, I'm right there with you. I just have never taken an accurate count!

Wow... no posts in 5 days. But... I have a finish! I got the Chunky Churndash all done and I just love it. I don't know why I let it languish so long. This was a UFO for at least 5 years, if not more. I think it was my oldest UFO. Now it's done.

This is a free pattern on the Quiltville site. I made it a very controlled scrappy, carefully selecting perfect combos for each block. I also didn't over-quilt it. The batting is soft and I wanted the quilt to be somewhat drapey, not hard.

And this I Spy is a shorter term UFO.

And JJBlaine... I'm embroidering the last 5 faces on your snowmen quilt. It will be in the mail to you this week!

Nice finish, SBG. Very well unified design; nice contrast in the hourglass blocks. Soft and drapey is the best kind!

Congrats on your finish sewbizgirl, it looks great.

Congratulations on your finishes, sewbizgirl! Lovely! Your snowmen faces are adorable.

We had around 6.5" of snow today with more forecast for tomorrow night into Tuesday evening. We had a very nice winter until the deep freeze hit last week and now the snow. Lovely Minnesota weather!

The snowman faces look fabulous! I can't believe you are almost done, plus finished up your wonderful UFO's (Love the churn dash scrappy!)

SBG! Beautiful fabrics on that CD! What a treat that one is! How big did it finish at?

Sewbiz....that chunky churndash is outstanding. Absolutely gorgeous! Awesome job on the snowmen....

I think I'm creating UFO's by not being able to machine quilt my recent finished top. I'll have another done in a couple of days, which I never ever ever do.. (I can hear Oksewglad screeching right now...lol!!) I've never tried it on my travel machine...not enough throat space but I'm going to try it. I already have anxiety.

Thanks... I didn’t measure it, but it should be about 66”x78”. Nice to sleep under!

Bwhahahaha Teen is succumbing to the evil UFO land!!

Meanwhile back on the farm, I'm working on a couple of new projects...Now really you say. When I asked my oldest GS if he wanted a t-shirt quilt when he graduates from HS next year...he replied "no"...well how about a denim one? Another "no, I just want a quilt, Gma." That set me thinking. I had a supply of plaid flannels and homespuns in all sorts of small chunks. I began cutting in the widest widths down to the smallest possible. These pieces I sewed end to end in long strips. I had enough strips to sew a 68 x 80 flimsy with plenty to spare. I then improv sewed a little crib quilt from the leftovers. Now to find backings for them to finish them off!

Last year I declared it the year of the triangle and organized all the random triangles I have accumulated. I'm sewing Maverick stars with them stitching to 2 1/2" red squares. Also using scrap print squares for the center of the star...Oh yes another project going!
