UFO FINISH! I was looking in a dresser for a place to put my strip pieced blocks and, much to my dismay, I found another UFO. :(. I had cut a variety of 2.5" strips and then subcut them into random 2 to 10" strips. It was supposed to be another Scrappy Fence Rail quilt top with lots of pinks, purples, flowers, etc. I had just finished a top in this pattern a few weeks ago with darker colors and I wasn't ready to make another one so I decided to repurpose the fabric. I had a picture of a quilt with strips and orphan blocks so I made a top based on that picture. I enlarged the orphan blocks to 16.5" so 8 strips of 2.5" would fit the sides.

I cut the pieces several years ago. It was a time when I started several quilts and didn't finish them. Now I am paying the price of 'catch-up."

The quilt top was donated to my church group this morning and they will finish and donate it.

retiredteacher09, I don't know about anyone else, but those top 4 inserts look like door & window "sample" pictures.

Counting from center top:

a. This is our sought after cathedral window unit.
b. This is our picture window
c. This is our panel door
d. This is our double casement (the cut off is the couch in front of it.)

LOL!!!

Quiltmouse: I read each description and then looked at the orphan block. You made my day with your descriptions.

Nice seasonal quilts, kwiltcrazy. Was it a panel? or did you have a pattern? Halloween is a fun season to sew for.

Wow lovely finishes! What fun quilts kwiltkrazy.

Love the idea for orphan blocks Connie. Thanks so much for sharing.

Sync- cool finish!

Connie- Aren't you glad you opened that drawer? LOL Nice job getting it done. I've got a Jacob's ladder that I cut out years ago right after I'd finished one and wanted to play with an alternate setting and switch values around. I think that one's going to have to wait til next year's UFO challenge.

Kwiltkrazy- love the colors.
