Something Finished and Something New

Another UFO bites the dust. I don't have a name for this quilt, I know the pattern came from the
Buggy Barnso I'll just call it Buggy Barn Stars.
I found the blocks when I cleaned the sewing room last month, not sure when I started this. I layed the blocks out and designed the border as soon as I came across the them, I sewed them together straight away, then it was put aside again. Maybe so I could do a sample for the shop any way I finished it Saturday, while waitng for the Nascar race to start. I did some free motion practicing on this quilt, wow I need a lot more practice, for sure. I did learn I could slow the motor speed and have a lot better contol over the length of my stitches, now if I could just make nice even turns.
And the quilt back, not sure what the spot is, came from the camera it is not on the quilt.
And a new project.
Happy Quilting!

  3. Janet! I am so impressed! I love the colors and pattern on the UFO, and I think you did great on your FMQ. I have FMQ almost all my quilts, and I still don't have even stitches or great turns.

    Your new project looks really fun! What pattern is that?
