A UFO Bargello

Last month while preparing for Thanksgiving company, I needed to clean my sewing room, while doing so I ran across several UFO’s.

Ok, we all have them, I just didn’t realize I still had so many.

I have finished 22 quilts this year, some started from scratch and a few from last years UFO pile. That is not counting various other table runners, placemats, small wall quilts, etc.

And yet here I have 13 unfinished projects, so as this pile will dwindle this year only to be replaced with new UFO’s, and so it goes in the life of a quilting addict.

I have selected a quilt from this pile to work on, now that all my Christmas sewing is finished.

All the hard part has been done, cutting a zillion strips,

one section was completed.

the challenging part was to reorganize and figure out where I left off, the design is put together in sections.

The book “Tradition with a Twist” was published in 1996, by Blanche Young. I remember seeing her as a guest on Simply Quilts, and immediately went out and bought the book.

This is a wonderful book to have in your quilt book collection. A week of sewing and,

Ta da, the quilt top is completed.

Next Bonnie's Double Delight, ready, set, sew, a New Year mystery.

Happy Quilting!
