I have to take a minute to brag... I have no more U.F.O.s in my quilting stash! I mean, no more Un-Finished Objects! Actually...a small disclaimer: no UFO that was previously started and set aside for 10-20 years...there may be plenty of fabric stashed away for projects intended to be started though.
Here's what my daughter inspired me to tackle:
My "Color Wash Irish Chain" king-sized quilt. Finally, a quilt for my bed! I did this one early in my quilting years, hand quilted parts of it, and packed it away for the next 10-12 years while I started homeschooling a bunch of kiddos....
My crossed-stitched - "Angel of Light". I completed the stitching of this one 20 years ago (no lie...I stitched the date on it) and had no idea how I wanted to finish it. Selah decided it would be a lovely Christmas throw pillow.
We call this one "The Ultimate Quilt Makeover". We had to basically do a "fixer upper" quilt edition on this one. We took the torn back off, repaired the blocks, then re-backed (with a bed sheet), re-pinned, and re-quilted. Matt has his TV quilt back... if the kids will share :-)
I feel so productive! I may not quilt for another 10 years....
