I have been steadily working on getting my UFO's finished while still moving forward with new projects and ideas!
I'm happy to tell that I have another quilt finished!
Do you remember the red letter quilt that I started in the spring?
It came up as my next quilt to sandwich and quilt.
(I try to do them in order of being finished but sometimes I have a few waiting.)
Last week I was able to take time to sandwich it and then start on the quilting.
I quilted around each letter in the ditch and did some FMQ in the negative space between the rows of the lowercase letters. I also did some straight line quilting in the borders.
All the letters are made from different red fabrics from my stash
(mostly from my scrap bin.)
The backing is a red apple print from my stash. I still need to label it.
This quilt finishes at 32.5" x 47.5"
So what is next you ask?
I have 2 more quilts waiting their turn. The left overs from the Regatta quilt
and this one.
I finally cut into one of the first fabric lines that I bought after starting to quilt (so many years ago!) This line is called Blush by Basic Grey. The backing is pieced with most of the remaining pieces from my collection with a few coordinating pieces from my stash.
You will just have to wait and see which one speaks to me next.
I also have a few more piecing projects in the works. I'm thankful to have the summer days to spend working on the many ideas in my head.
