First finish in February

Finally this old wallhaging can be crossed off the "to do"-list. It shouldn't take 14 years to finish something!!

The next project is newer. These nine-patch repro blocks are from an international swap 3-4 years ago.

Yesterday I spent some time together with 3 quilting friends. It's always nice to meet and to see what others are making.

Have a nice week!

New month - old project

Saturday I made some progress on the Orange Crush Mystery. The top is almost done, but I didn't have enough fabric for the border. So I have to wait until I can go to the quilt shop.

Well, we're in February - new month, new possibilities. I still want to work on unfinished items. Almost in the bottom of the pile I found a very old project - a wallhanging from 1995. I got the inspiration for the quilt from a Quilter's Newsletter Magazine. Basically I only have the quilting and the binding left. It will be good to get it done since it has been a UFO for about 14 years! I probably would have chosen slightly different fabrics/combinations if I'd started this project today. It's not that I don't like autumn colours - they are my favourites - it's just that I don't think I did a too good job putting them together in this case.

Orange Crush

Almost a year ago Bonnie
at www.quiltville.com
organized a mysterie quilt.
The mysterie was
called Orange Crush, and
as always her quilts give
you a chance to use scraps.
I thought this was a good
opportunity to reduce my

pile of scraps and old fabrics.
I manage to keep up with this
mysterie quilt until step 4,
but after that life intervened
and I fell behind!
Last Sunday I pulled it out from
the pile of UFOs, and am now trying
to get my head around it again.
But due to illness and work commitments,
I haven't made much progress since then. Now I will make
another attempt and on that note I'll get started.

Yippii

Yes, I did it.

I reached my goal for today :-)

I have yet to decide what my

next project will be. All I know

is that I have plenty of

UFOs/WISPs to choose from!

Saturday morning

Yesterday I found these
table runners among my
Ufos. This is a mystery
from 2005 on a list I'm
a member of and I think
the designer is Merete.
I think I first thought
to make 4 place mats,
but in the end I ended up
making 2 table runners instead. It's actually not that
much work left; I just have to decide how to quilt them
and choose the of colour of the binding.
Hopefully, I'll be able cross them off my UFO list
by the end of today :-)

#4

This square has been in the
cupboard for years. I think it
was meant as a start for a
wallhanging.
A few days ago I decided to
use it for a baby quilt instead.



Here is the result and UFO # 4 is
done. Finally! :-)

Two UFOs finished

In 2007 I bought fabrics

and pattern for a

tablecloth and a table

runner from

Quiltekroken.

Kari R. Ytterdal has design

it. The pattern is simple, but

I felt in love with the spring

colours.The table cloth top was sewn

more than a year ago, and the

pieces for the table runner were all cut.

Now it's done, and I'll find

another UFO to work on.

Have a nice weekend!
