More UFOs for #Ufovember 2021!

 The project to list all my UFO has turned into a squirrel project for me! Everything I touch calls out "finish me"!

UFO #5 (I call it Posy) from my last post has turned into a completed flimsy, and is packaged and ready to be shipped to the longarmer. I'm just waiting for my bestie, Kim, to bring hers over and we'll send them off. Larger quilts like this will still go to the LA, both for speed and lack of space at my place.




I've added a two-inch border of the feature fabric since this picture was taken, as I felt it needed an edge. I'll post more about this quilt in another post.

A few more UFOs for the list:

UFO #6 Penny Patch (free tutorial from Stitched in Color). I was really drawn to Rachel's original version, which she called Vintage Tangerine, so I started it in June. I don't know if it is really classed as an UFO, since it is my most recent start, but it did get put aside for a month or two, but I decided since it was the closest at hand, I used it as Leaders & Enders while I finished up my Posy quilt.




Now I have all the blocks made, and here they are laid out on my design wall (bed!), along with my helper, Daisy. Hopefully, they will get sewn together tonight! 

My almost 80-year-old aunt made the cutest comment on Facebook when she saw this picture: I want to be a young girl and paint my room and accessorize it to match that quilt! Lol
So I plan on surprising her with it when it is done!


UFO #7 On Ringo Lake by Bonnie Hunter This was a Mystery Quilt from 2017, and I have managed to complete about 1 step a year, as Leaders & Enders. I've been pushing to try and get it down this year, and I just might be able to do it!  



UFO #8 Flower Girl  I fell in love with Maureen McCormick's (of Brady Bunch fame) Blooming Bunch fabric line - it reminded me of my teenage years in the '70s. I picked Camille Roskelley's pattern Flower Girl to do it in. I don't do a lot of quilts with just one fabric line, but I couldn't help myself with this one. This one will be for me!



The next three are all using Tula Pink fabrics. I love her vibrant colours.

UFO #9 Rainbow Waves This one uses a single line called Zuma, which is ocean-themed. This is another quilt that Kim and I are each making one, and we each bought a kit. Turns out the kits were cut so generously, that there is about 3/4s of the second kit left over. That's okay, I love scraps!


UFO #10 Tula Pink Butterfly A lot of those leftovers are going to end up in this next quilt. Again, both Kim and I are going to make one each, Kim is pinks and purples, mine will also have mint/teals added.


UFO #11 100 Quilt Blocks in 100 Days - a quilt-along by Gnome Angel, using her Kinship Pattern. This shouldn't be a UFO at this point since I only started it in July, but work got extremely crazy and it got put aside.  I did get 10 blocks done.



 Each of the quilts I have listed were started in the last 2 years, with the exception of On Ringo Lake. I'm only going to allow myself to start 2 more quilts until I finish my inventory and choose my focus projects. Both are mystery quilts - On Rhododendren Trail by Bonnie Hunter, and Quiltmaker's Ruby Jubilee using Bonnie Hunter blocks! Both started last week, and I love doing these as a de-stresser over the busy Christmas season.

I'll be doing individual posts on all of my UFO quilts once I have inventoried them all.
