Wow Gladdie, hope things dry up fast. Consider yourself lucky; My son. Kyrk, has been fighting forest fires since Mid-February. Pretty wet here in Mapleton, too. Fire dandeger just went up to moderate, usually there by July.

Thanks everyone for the well-wishes and prayers! Hubby is back at work today, but "cautiously" - kind of with the understanding that if he starts feeling bad again, he can come home early.
He did go to the Urgent Care center and got some meds, so that has been part of his recovery. He was feeling well enough to help with the livestock. So far so good for myself, no symptoms so far. |

Rob , that's a cool looking quilt. Very modern. I had to chuckled at the past tense way you used "QAYG." You said "QAYG'd" --which my mind reads as "Quilt As You Goed" and I wondered, "Should it be QAYW"? Quilt As You Went?" LOL

Congrats, Silliness. One way to get a UFO done sooner is to shrink the size. :) Toot, Toot!

In the end, I just wanted them gone so I decreased the intended size of the quilt by adding only 4 more blocks. Then sashing and two borders made it large enough for a child's quilt. I have two more in the works. I am hoping to have at least one done by the end of the month.

Hmmm...now they're yours but they are "new" to you, aren't they? If you plan to finish them but then don't, they become a UFO. We're fairly loose with the UFO definition but brand new to you doesn't feel like a UFO to me. But you are the one who determines what is, and what is not, a UFO.

Do i have to count the log cabin blocks that I found in the donated stash as a UFO for me now? lol. That's one way to get UFO's.

Nice one, Rryder! Congratulations on another UFO finish. Toot, Toot! I like your block layout. :)

Here is one that's been percolating for 4 years. The blocks on the left are QAYG orphans from a large table topper. The ones on the right were from an improvisational quilt that I cut to pieces and then QAYG'd, then set aside because I still couldn't decide what to do with them. i finally decided how I wanted to set the thing. It's called Koyaanisqatsi, named after a film from the 80's.
