Hi Darcyshannon!

My plans for UFOs have been pushed onto the back burner for a while. I received some donation fabric (a bunch!) and I've been washing it and have started to use it for charity quilting. Hope to have a UFO done in April!

Perhaps two if I will get my hiney in gear and finish the quilting. I go in spurts and will quilt one or two a day for several days, then stop to piece some more. I'd much rather piece than quilt!

Amen, sister! Love to work out the puzzle of the pattern and must make myself quit. Binding is easy-peesy then comes the label.

Just the label to create, but don't have the wording quite right. Only have one question since this is the first time I did SID quilting and some hand quilting in the center of the large squares. Do I need to add any thing to the borders for quilting? I have the seam at the binding then the SID next to the seam where it attaches to the blocks, is that all I need? I have always done a random edge to edge quilting before. I'm unsure and turning to more experienced persons for Help. :o

Thank you :)

Congratulations on your finish, Dedemac! Very nice!

Wonderful finish, Dedemac!! Depending on the width of border, you may want to consider quilting them. With washing, these will likely get too puffy. You could just do straight lines with your walking foot and space them out enough to ensure border stays flat...or a squiggly, wavy line down the center would be good, too. That's my opinion but others may feel differently.

Not a fan of the walking foot, but have no problems with squiggly lines.

Yes...That might be best anyway, Dedemac....Since it is already binded, anything too detailed will cause puckers cuz you can't smooth out as you go. Such a great quilt!!

Hey! I finished one! Baby quilt for charity. I got 8 yards of this fabric at the thrift store for only $7.99 and I'm going to make 3 or 4 baby quilts, using a different FMQ motif each time. This time did a concentric circle that sort of looks like windy clouds.
