UFO updates.....

The UFO project at the Quilter's Nest has been a big help to me!  I have finished a UFO for each month so far, although I was slow on the November one and just got it done in December.  But I have also completed two others that they haven't called the number for yet!  

 September was my Batik Fan runner.  It is a bit odd, but it is finished.  Now what to do with it???  It measures 53 1/2 " x 25".....pretty long and wide.  Too big for my buffet.  It was a tough project to finish.  I liked making the fans using coffee filters....I show how somewhere else in this blog....but then I didn't know what to do with it since I didn't want to make a whole quilt.  I decided on a runner but had to add some applique to make it come out more evenly shaped.  Oh, well.....it's done!

 This was my November UFO.  I started this circle project with my sister, Margaret in Seattle in 2007(?)  or there about.   About 29 x 31 finiahed.  Based on the book Circle Play, by Raynola Pakusich.  It is an interesting idea that I need to spend a lot more time on.  Working with the backgrounds and the circles takes some thinking.  I made it harder by deciding to make my circles 3 different sizes.  That made it impossible to make it come together right.  I was going to make 3 separate hangings, but changed my mind.  I want to try another one and think it will be better.  At least I did find a way to finish this one, and I'm not unhappy with it.  I was limited on fabric when I began this, since I wasn't at home with my stash!  The thing that saves it is the white stitching that I did....I think.  Turned out OK. Again....what to do with it now?

 My December UFO.....a cat quilt....literally!  I made this little quilt for my cats to lie on when they are in my lap.  I was also using up the strips from my other "strip" quilts I did....still not all gone!  I call it "Cats in the Cabin".  I messed up and got two identical greens too close together and it bugs me.  I may sew another strip on top of one of them to change the color.  A lot of trouble for a cat quilt....so maybe not!

 Cat tested and approved!  Mouse taking up more than her share.

Ozma.

Hopey haven't tested it yet and she is the one who will spend a lot of time sleeping on it probably!
