I got the borders on my Spring Mystery Quilt:
The backing has also been made and now it is ready for basting.
Still in the UFO spirit, I pulled out my guild block exchange from 2011. For that I had requested everyone make "Mod Mosaic" blocks following Elizabeth Hartman's tutorial. I ended up with 11 bright and happy blocks.
I started by framing each block with a white border. Then my husband helped me tape a footprint on the wall of the intended size of the quilt.
I placed my blocks in the footprint and then started filling in the background (forgive the blurry cell phone picture). Many thanks to Elizabeth Hartman for the tutorial on making a floating blocks quilt!
Woo! Another finished top! I also completed the backing for this, so it too is ready for basting.
Finally, I went ahead and cut 5" squares from the fabric remaining from that project.
I made 9-patches and then did some slicing and dicing.
And now I have a completed disappearing 9-patch baby quilt top! I've also finished the backing for this one, so it is also ready for basting.
Phew!
What to tackle next? More UFOs? Or maybe I should baste 'em up and quilt some of these? Or is my guilt assuaged enough that I can finally start something new? Hmmm....
