DWM: 3 Sisters UFO

Last week when I browsed through some other quilters’ Stash Report blogs, I came across Kate’s from Life In Pieces.  She tracks how many days she gets at least 15 minutes of sewing.  I thought that was a great idea and applied it to UFO’s.  This week I tried to work on a UFO at least 15 minutes each day.  After that, I could continue working on that project or move to another one.  I liked that each day I would be moving forward toward a finish on the UFO. 

When I left for Salt Lake City on Friday, I had accomplished this much on an old 3 Sisters UFO.  The pattern is Lillian by Villa Rosa.

3 Sisters

The easy part is finished.  The hard part is going to be digging through the stash to find some border fabric.  I’m pretty sure I bought enough yardage of the fabric in the block centers to also use for borders, I’m just hoping it didn’t go into another project.  I used a jelly roll for the small squares in this quilt.  It is another one I would like to revisit using all scraps.

Be sure to take a look at other design wall projects using the links at Patchwork Times.

    What a great idea … so often I don’t sew because I think I don’t have enough time. 15 minutes? Hey! I can do that!

    That is a great plan! I could definitely see progress after a week or so spending that small amount of time per day. Hope you find the fabric you seek!

    Perfect scrap pattern! I like your 15-minute idea. I might have to apply that to some of my unfinished applique blocks. Like my Mary Lou chickens from … a VERY long time ago!
