June UFO

This is my UFO finish for June. I used a different quilting motif in each color block including a new curved ruler. The binding is sort of a faux piped binding done all by machine. There are several tutes on how to do this on the QB.

playswithcolor---that is a bright cheerful quilt! Great job!!

I got 2 projects finished up today. Both were sandwiched earlier this week. The quilt is being donated to a hospice house where a friend died a cancer a couple years ago. The table topper is going to some friends when we go to visit in a couple weeks...I made it as a sample for the LQS where I worked, but never finished it.

Nice bright finish, playswithcolor..like the binding edge...I want to try that on some small quilts...

Carrie, what a generous gift and a tribute to your friend. It will be of comfort I'm sure. The four patch posy looks so summery and will transition into fall nicely.

Love the 4 patch posie. That is so cute. I may have to look for a fabric I can do that with.

Can UFO's be any type of sewing project or just quilting? I have both and it fills up a large laundry basket :o I'm new to the QB.

Welcome aboard moonlitsmiles5. Let's see what is in that basket of yours...we are pretty lax around here....

Gone most of the summer, but home enough to finish a few more...they all just needed quilting & binding. I do my binding by machine; sew to backside, then flip to front for final sewing. I don't have time for that word "HAND".:D 1. Quilt guild row by row quilt started in 1/2014, finished 6/2015. 2. Row from #1 that I didn't like in the quilt, so made runner. Both of these are made completely with scraps & they just multiplied instead of going down!!! How does that happen? 3. Mysterytrain #2 from 2012 made with batik scraps, finished 6/2015. 4. Mysterytrain #6 from 2014 made with boy cowboy-looking scraps, finished 6/2015. The last pic is the back of this quilt. I worked like a "crazy lady" in the 2 weeks I was home in June between trips!:D I'm just happy to get all these finished!

LOL!!! I started out this way too.........NOW LOOK! Good luck!!!:)
