"Scarlet Stars" 60" X 72"
This recently completed quilt is a compilation of two different blocks-of-the-month from my LQS. I added bits and pieces of other blocks and coping strips to fit it all together. It has been a top for years, just hanging out in the stash closet for its time to be quilted. Thank goodness I happened upon Country Threads' "Chicken Scratch" blog and jumped on board their UFO "Dirty Dozen" challenge. Twelve UFOs are assigned a unique number and each month a number is drawn for completion during that month. This top was my number eight; I met this month's goal, it's quilted and bound. A new number will be drawn on Thursday for August. I hope that I can keep up, it's a good feeling to finish projects once and for all (I even made a label for this one!!).
I used a new (to me) pantograph on this one-- "Starry" by Beany Girl quilts, it fit the bill and the theme!
Life is Good!
I love it! Just up my alley...it is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThat's a neat way to challenge yourself to finish those ufo's. This is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteGreat blocks and great reds beautifully done
ReplyDeleteA great quilt and fun to look at all the different blocks.
ReplyDeleteFinished quilts are so much easier to use than finished tops, lol! Congrats on another beauty. A red and white quilt is always classic.
ReplyDeleteStarry quilting for a starry quilt! Puts stars in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteMotivation comes in many forms - happy you found something to help you move those UFOs to the finish line. Starting is so much easier . . .
ReplyDeleteWell, Missus, I just love your quilt. There is something so fresh and lovely about the reds and whites together. And the beautiful quilting is the finishing touch.
