2016 UFO Challenge of the Month
#1661
Thought I'd just show you all that I am making progress on my UFO. Today I made 67 background 9P blocks and have 30 more cut and ready to sew. Yep, I need 97 of them for this quilt.
I finished the red ones last year early on before it got set aside once again. Next will be black ones. Not so many of those are needed, thank goodness. LOL

I love using "themes" - that is, trying to match the panto pattern to the theme of the quilt itself. Or sometimes, the panto is slanted to the recipient's hobbies. I made a friendship quilt for my son-in-law for him to carry to his chemo sessions. His friends and family signed the different blocks, and once I joined the blocks and quilted it, the quilting was music notes and music symbols. He plays in his church band.
If any of you are using mid-arm/long-arm machines, there are SO MANY pantos out there, I strongly suggest that you do a little digging and see what super-cute pantos there are that would really complement your quilt.

All I did yesterday was sew them into the 9P blocks!!! If I had made them all from scratch, DH would have been driving me to the hospital!!!

Oh, No, goodness, I'm sorry if that was misleading!! I had already made the stripsets and cut them into the subsets of three 2.5" squares. I did that last week and earlier this week.

phew! I thought that was superhuman! But still. Sewing that many sets into blocks is quite an accomplishment!

June Tally
I'm finally getting you your June tally. We've had a slowdown of major proportion, but summer's here so who wants to sit inside? Happily, we have Toot Toots going out to Silliness, RetiredTeacher09, HappyLab, MadQuilter, Glojean, Jaba, Anoka Quilter and Rryder for a combined total of 10 finished UFOs for June. Toot, Toot Quilters! That brings this year's total through the first half of the year to 249. Wow. 249 UFOs grabbed from obscurity and made real.
Congratulations to all who are continuing to work on their UFOs. It doesn't matter how fast you work on them, only that you are. They'll get done if you just keep at it!
Let's see if the second half of the year will be able to keep this train moving onwards!

As soon as the binding is completed, the hardest part for me, will have five to report. Yippee, give me a couple more days. Yep, getting there. Two of them are Christmas Tree Skirts that were started a few years ago. OOps me.
