Who doesn't have UFOs? And seriously, how many do we all have? No reveals in this blog post.
So when Joan brought up a blog hop for this purpose, I jumped right on that train. Having a deadline is just what I need.
And which one to do? HMMMM. I decided that being July, I need to finish that 4th of July project sitting in a box.
Opened up the box. Yeah! The pattern is there and all the fabrics. Boo! I had hardly started it. There was only some of that cutting done. Seriously, this needs more work than I thought.
And I loved the design, but changed the dimensions shrinking the blocks to 8 inch size.
Don't you just love the fireworks background.
Step 1: Setting blocks
Step 2 Star blocks
Layout:
Borders and quilting:
Some of the quilting from the back.
It needs some fillers in the star blocks and accents in the flying geese.
Unfortunately, I am quilting in my bedroom not my sewing room due to kitchen remodeling.
I will have to finish it when I can get back to my sewing table.
But I love how it turned out and feel good about how the piecing and quilting went.
Hope you like it as well.
Don't forget to see the other blogs on the hop.
Well done on getting your quilt finshed

ReplyDeleteThis is a great finish! The fireworks background fabric really makes the blocks shine. I love the movement the fabric gives to this fun quilt.
ReplyDeleteAwesome...you made more than headway. Yes UFO's...I have no idea how many I have. Some have been tucked away for so long I'm not totally sure where they are. I have 3 at the moment that I consider current UFO's that I'm chippiing away on. Your 4th of July fabric and design is fantastic.
