APQ has announced the June number for the 2018 UFO Challenge and it's number 11. Yikes! I have a couple of things on here that I've been avoiding. But the good news is that one of the projects (the Friendship Exchange quilt) is already done.
There are 2 Simple Whatnots kits from this past series that I still haven't made, and I have one that needs to be quilted yet. The next series will begin in June with our first class. I've fallen behind!! I have Raspberry Cocoa along with me this week while I tag along with my husband on a work trip, and plan to do some simple hand quilting on it. Maybe I can get this one done for the quilt show since it is only 27" square.
As for the Urban Cabin quilt, first of all I had to find the project box for this one. It was on the bottom of the stack of boxes inside my cutting table cabinet. And yes - there are too many other project boxes hiding in there.
Opening up this project box provided some surprises. I thought the Urban Cabin quilt only had one block made before I set it aside. Turns out, there were two blocks made and the strips were cut from the colors for the strip sets. Woot woot!!!! These are not colors that I usually gravitate toward, but I think I'm going to like it. Funny how one's tastes change over the years.
I have no idea why I set this one aside - or even WHEN I set it aside. It's pretty sad that I don't remember when I was working on this one, but after checking my old UFO lists I know it's at least 4 years old because it was on those lists every year. So, any progress I can make on this one is an improvement, right?
With everything cut, the blocks will come together quickly.
ReplyDeleteRaspberry Cocoa is the perfect size for a road trip project. Enjoy the hand-stitching, the trip, & the time with your husband.
Yikes 11 is challenging: sooner started, sooner done.
