[ATTACH=CONFIG]547037[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]547038[/ATTACH]I did not declare earlier in this group, but here is a UFO from 2010. Finished in
March. The cover quilt from the Fons and Porter Mag. May/June issue. I added the ants on the back from a row quilt by Jacki ? on Craftsy, which came out last summer. The binding is a red fabric with ants.

giquilt------Your quilt is fabulous. And love the added touch of ants. A super quilt.

Great ants how fantastic.

Ryder I get it with border decisions. I didn't know when I started that there would be so many decisions that could stop me cold during the quilting process.

Just finished 4 small UFO projects!
These started out as large blocks, I was experimenting with tea-dying muslin for an antique look.

I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them, so they got shelved (for a few years). I've been wanting to make new covers for the throw cushions, so I added some borders to make the blocks the correct size for the existing pillow forms and made envelope-style covers. The backs are made with a pretty fabric I picked up on my last visit to Singapore earlier this year. I had just enough fabric to do all 4 pillows. Added a bit of lace, and they are pretty enough to use either side.

Love the bird fabric...Oh Canada. And like the eclectic mix of traditional looking blocks paired with it...

giquilt, those ants are great. What a pretty quilt!

OhCanada, such beautiful blocks, and a great use for them. I love that backing fabric.

Giquilt - what a cute quilt, and I love the ants. That is a great touch. It never occurs to me to put anything on the back of my quilts.

OnCanada - Congrats on completing the four pillows. They turned out really pretty.

Love the ant/watermelon quilt. Adorable for sure.

Those pillows are terrific.

I am up for the challenge. I have a wallhanging I can get the binding on by April 8. It is from ..... 2000. I will get it on. Yep, going to do it. Yep, and if i say it enough, just maybe. Now about that IRS issue, someone come help me so I can have some fun quilting.
