UFO #1 - The Betty Quilt
UFO #1 was chosen as our challenge for March, my goal was to get this quilt into Top form, with a backing ready to go. Can't put too much pressure on a girl you know!
First - I realized that I hadn't finished all the blocks needed to put the top together - so I buckled down and finished those.
The last batch.
Then as you saw on MANY design wall posts I struggled, and whined, and procrastinated my way thru getting the rows done, and finally ...much to the happiness of my children.... got the top done!
I also have abacking ready - so some day in the near future ( I hope) I will get it quilted!
Now I hope the choice for April is an easy one - Please Judy???
This is a beautiful quilt - great finish. I consider them done once the top and backing have been completed because the next step awaits the $$$ to have quilted. At least it is OTL - off the list. Judy C
Congratulations! What a great finish, and it looks beautiful. Sadly I'm only 2 for 3 (March let me down). Looking forward to seeing what you finish in April! Cheers, Dionne
Very pretty. I hope for an easy one in April also as I have a busy month coming up.
ReplyDeleteThat is truly a beautiful quilt... good job on finishing the top!
ReplyDeleteOOOOoo, it's so PRETTY! And you got it DONE! (a top is DONE as far as I'm concerned! LOL) WTG!
