As I posted yesterday, in my design wall Monday post, I finished my UFO for February, Crazy Curves, I decided, after all that work, it deserved its own post to honour it. LOL. The pattern is Crazy Curves, and I really can't say that it is my favourite quilt in the world. All of the batiks were purchased quite a few years ago, when I had a dream of making a New York Beauty quilt. After doing a couple of the complex squares for it, I realized that it wasn't going to happen in this lifetime. Hmmm, now would not be a good to to realize that I should have put the ones that I did finish into this quilt, would it? Oh well. Judy, at
Patchwork Times has pulled this month's number, which is #1. Checking my list, #1 is the
Cactus Rose quilt. I really, really want to get that one done this year, but, with the amount of work left on that one, to finish the complex paper pieced borders, it isn't realistic to think that it will happen this month, with grandbaby stuff to finish, and a backlog of customer quilts also to finish. So, I'm going to switch it out for the
Hexagon Baby quilt which needs to be finished soon. Good thing the rules for this challenge are flexible.
Beautiful quilt - kinda like my Storm at Sea quilt which was February's finish. Glad to have them off the list. Judy C
ReplyDeleteI love your quilts and look for your blog every week. Facinating look of this one, exquisite really. Make the baby quilts first and enjoy--the rest wil wait.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you have mastered curved piecing with this many curves!! Congrats on finishing your curvy quilt!
ReplyDeleteThis UFO challenge is completely flexible to meet your/our needs, so switch away :)
Lovely quilt! As for the March UFO, just do what you can do. We all understand that they can't all be completed even if we want them to.
ReplyDeleteHappy Quilting!!
Love the quilt! The fabric is just fun!
ReplyDeleteI really like the colors of your quilt! Now that I've tackled diamonds, I thing curves next!
ReplyDeleteI too have made up my own rules for the UFO challenge. The point is to finish them not worry about how they get done. Don't fret! Just keep working!! If your hexagon baby is as nice as this one...we are in for eye candy treats!
Of course this beautiful no-longer-UFO deserves its own post! Love it - Congrats!
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt---I too had visions of a NYB---it is still in the "vision" phase...I made one block and can't find that one anymore. Have a great day!
