We love UFO days!
Lots to do and a set aside time to get it done is always fun!
First up, the blocks for the final weave top were ready to stitch.
These have a white background that really
makes the colors pop.
The top is complete!
Then the posy blocks were next to be opened up.
This little found/gifted project took up a lot more
time than I'd planned.
It needed 17 additional stars to fill in the alternate spots.
They are very fun to make and
use up some scraps too, bonus!
Two sides of half the posy blocks had
to be removed to make row joining easier.
That done, the rows were stitched up and
set aside awaiting decisions.
Do I piece together the lattice bits,
or find a fabric to match and cut new?
White background stars may be side borders to
make a twin sized width. They have been
waiting patiently for a purpose.
A pinning day for the tops in waiting will have to
keep waiting since the Discovery table has
more tops to be unearthed! It's is archeaeology February I think!
Lara Croft may be playing later in the workroom theatre!

You must really enjoy the discovery table. I love the blues in your quilts: so relaxing. And the hue is just perfect! Hooray for tackling UFOs! I think we all need to do that: me, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd lots of bits! String bits are coming up soon too!
DeleteProgress on your UFOs! It feels good to get those blocks into flimsies, doesn't it. Both are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThank you , and it sure does, the rack is getting very full again!
DeleteWhat fun "un-earthing" all these beauties to use:))) I love the blue posy blocks--repeating patterns make such a beautiful quilt in all those shades...Nice works and WIPS, too hugs, Julierose

ReplyDeleteOh yes I have! I'm doing a strip bit quilt top today with 6", 2" and 3" columns. We will see how it turns out!!!

DeleteWow, such beautiful blocks here Deb. It's time I did a proper "dig" in my sewing room too. I know there are projects lurking, I should say waiting. :)
