Patchwork Sampler

Make quilts. Use fabric. Have fun.

Two More Old Projects Finished

My recent quilting projects have been like our weather trends—winter one day, spring the next, then back to fall.  Last week I worked on the Valentine’s Day quilt, then pieced a current project and followed it with a couple of fall UFO’s.  My revelation is this:  if a project isn’t finished before its corresponding holiday, it is destined to abandonment in the UFO pile. 

Hooray, these are finished.  I mentioned in an earlier post that I numbered the UFO’s in a basket and each month I draw two numbers and work on those projects.  This table runner was an April project (I should have pressed it before taking the picture). 

Thimbleberries Fall Table Runner
I debated whether or not to finish this or just chuck it.  It was an old Thimbleberries project and they tend to be a little more big and clunky than I like to put on a table. There wasn’t too much left to do on it and I realized it is a nice size to use as a runner on a twin bed so I completed it and will use it this way.

The other autumn project is this little Lori Smith wall hanging.  I love this one.  I’ve made several of these small projects from her patterns and like the small scale.

I only have to hand stitch the binding on the Valentine’s quilt and my UFO’s will be caught up and I should be able to complete that on our drive to La Crosse tomorrow morning.  With all the travel we have in the next few weeks, I drew the numbers for June UFO’s so I could get started on them.  One is a spring lap quilt and the other a fall wall hanging.  I think I’ll draw a new number and postpone the fall project until later in the summer. I’m hoping spring is finally here to stay.

    Rhonda, I like them both! The good part is, there’s always another season that will come along another year, whatever season it is. =) I love that Thimbleberries as a bedrunner, and it looks great on your white quilt.
