UFO #4

Last night I finished tacking down the binding on this quilt. The blocks are from a swap with my online quilting group, Backporch Friends, from several years ago. The swap was called Sunshine & Blue Skies and the block is the split nine patch. It's embarrassing to say but this top is over four years old! I had Quilters Block!!!

Why did I wait so long? Well, because I "thought" I wanted to do some wonderful quilting, like a wavy water something-or-other in the blue sections and some sun motif or sunshiney design in the yellow sections. And that's why it sat. Dumb, huh? LOL
I'm glad I worked on Neena's quilt first. It convinced me that the butterfly pantograph would be perfect on the quilt. I'm very happy with it.

And here's a very simple label just to document a few facts.

I'll have to take a break from my ufo's for some block making. I'm going to a retreat next month and there is a swap for little churn dash blocks we'll swap. Gotta get started on those before time gets away from me.....like it hasn't already!!!

Good job finishing your sunshine and blue skies quilt. The quilting is awesome! One of those blocks was probably made by me!! Mine is a family favorite. :)
