Two more Ufo's done

I am in this strange, for me, finish them up mode. I have started to pull works in progress from the famous quilt cupboard. I have a bad habit of starting a project, then get board with the project, place it in a labeled shoe box with the pattern and then put the shoe box with the others in my cupboard. Even I knew it was time to get them turned into tops.

So, here are two more that have gone from shoe box to quilt top.
The fabric for this quilt was purchased in Delaware back in June. I snuck away one day while we were in Ocean City and hit the quilt shop. LOL I started the top back in June then put it away to go onto something else.

This tops was started around Feb. of this year. It is made from fabrics that were left over from another project and I wanted to work on something that didn't need much brain power. Nine Patch blocks are so simple. I added the applique to give the quilt just a little punch. It got the seal of approval from my Chloe, my big dog. lol


I will pull two more from the cupboard tomorrow so check back in a few days to see what I'm working on.

Onto the next ufo

I am in this FINISH them up mode. I have this full size top that I made from Nine Patch blocks back in May. I made some applique flowers and butterflies to put on the outside border. Before I could put the appliques on I move onto another project. So, I have pulled it out again and I am going to work on it over the next couple of days. It really won't take long to finish, just have to stick with it.

Sure is bright isn't it? This will be pretty when done.

Check back in a few days to see the finished top.

My Quilt tops

Someone asked to see my 35+ tops. LOL so, this was the easiest way to show them.


In the pile on the left there are 22 queen/king size. The center pile has just 2 tops in it, they are queen size and will be hand quilted. The pile on the right has 13 twin/full size tops. There are 4 tops on hangers that didn't make it in the photo.

I guess I have my work cut out for me. I really should stop sewing and start quilting. LOL

Have a wonderful day
