Connie - Loving the orphan block finish. Brilliant!
KwiltKrazy- I love seeing your quilts. Both are adorable!

Halloweeen quilt is a panel cut apart bordered and put back together. Angel quilt is machine appliqued blocks

Thanks all for your comments, it is so nice to have them done.

Congrats on your UFO finish, Retiredteacher09! Toot, toot for a fun, scrappy finish! I'm sure whoever the lucky person is who receives this will be very happy.

And this is our 6th finish in the Sept mini-challenge. :) Way to go, quilters!

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.

Way to go everyone on the lovely finishes. I so love this site for seeing all of the finishes.

If all goes well I hope to finish at least 1 UFO this month, if not maybe 2. I have to buy fabric for the backing for the second project. Back to housework and sewing.

only regret is I didn't get it done before my sister passed

Gorgeous quilt kwiltkrazy. Sorry for your loss dear. I lost my sister three years ago. Sending out a gentle hug to you. The dolphins are spectacular.

Love this one. Could not be better.

Okay guys, I'm sandwiching my UFO for September today! I'm going to try quilting it myself.

Thank you elly, she was my eldest sister, she was only 56 years old.
