This is my very oldest Quilt UFO. When I very first started quilting I went to a class and this was what they taught.
It is a Quilt as you go, and it should be finished - Ha ha!
Since I was new to quilting, I just did a couple of different simple designs in each of the setting blocks and did echoing in the pieced blocks.
You can see part of it from the back.
Okay fast forward a few years - I was trying to get into free motion quilting so I thought I'd work on this a little and quilt some of the setting blocks. Well I wasn't very good and then got discouraged again.So fast forward a few years again - clean out a couple of peoples stashes and determination kicks in. I am going to get these old UFO's done. I have spent about 5 nights picking the bad quilting out of 3 blocks and have one to go. Then I made the 3 additional pieced blocks I needed.
Added their sashing.
Now I am ready to re-quilt 4 setting blocks, quilt the 3 pieced blocks and then assemble them onto the rest of the quilt. At that point I'll see if I want to add the quilted border or just bind.
I have also gone as far as I can for now on the UFO Bears. I added a couple borders including the pieced border.
I talked to my Sister whom this is for and we will wait until she is here again to figure out the rest of the borders. So I have UFO's that are WIP and hopefully soon they will be D-O-N-E!
Have a Blessed Day!
