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???

Very pretty. I hope for an easy one in April also as I have a busy month coming up.
That is truly a beautiful quilt... good job on finishing the top!
OOOOoo, it's so PRETTY! And you got it DONE! (a top is DONE as far as I'm concerned! LOL) WTG!
Betty is awesome! You are getting so much done with the UFO challenges. Isn't it a wonderful feeling?

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
I love the whining part -- I feel the same way about February's and probably this month's too! Your top looks fantastic!
REally pretty! I like the setting fabric you used, so cozy looking. Congrats on getting the top done!
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,

It was worth the effort. You have a very pretty quilt top.
I love Betty! I am sure she is worth it, struggle and all! Hope your April UFO is an easy/ quick one...
