UFO Challenge for 2021
#312
I finished a quilt that I started in EQ in 2013.
64 blocks of 72 triangles each - 4,608 patches. I sewed pairs of fabrics onto dozens of strips of Edyta Sitar's HST papers and there they sat. In January, they were still attached to their papers and they were still overwhelming.
It took about a week to cut them apart and piece the blocks. Sent it off to Missouri Star for quilting and I finished the borders and binding about two weeks after I got it back.
No great place to show it without daylight, but it's done, done, done!

Staging quilts is a problem for me too, especially the big ones. I would have to clean my bedroom first and that is WAY down my list of priorities!

I love the flying geese block - it must have taken ages to make enough for a big quilt like this. Beautiful, fresh colors!
I like how you are using the different stripe prints between your strips of geese. I haven't ever tried that.
Another UFO and one more on the way - good going!
