decisions, decisons, decisions!

well, I guess sometimes I think too much. I'm trying to decide on a backing on the scrappy UFO that I ave been working on. I hope I can make a decison today. I want to get this one quilted and off my list!

1st UFO finished!

This is a water color quilt that I started in 2009. I'm keeping this one. I just need to figure out where I want to hang it. This is a shot of the backing. I didn't have a piece large enough for the backing so I pieced the back. The floral is what I used for the front. I fussy cut a lot of pieces for the top. I love the effect.

This is a shot of the label.

Eye glasses case

Last night, I took the leftover block from the quilt top and made a glasses case out of it. I used that tool for sewing/quilting parallel lines on my machine to help keep the lines straight.

Progress!

I'm slowly making some progress here. I finally got these blocks pieced into a top. I'm debating a border. The plan for these blocks included a border. It sure feels good to have this much done. I don't make scrappy blocks like this anymore. The blocks have a foundation that makes for a heavier quilt. We don't need heavier quits in this area of southeast Texas. I'm going to quilt the leftover block and make it into an eye glasses case.

February-getting a late start

This is an old UFO in progress. I have started working on it several times this year. There have been a lot of distractions here so far this year. I started working on this again Monday and I hope to stay at it daily until it's done! These blocks were made the way I used to make scrappy quilts. There is a foundation under each block. It makes the quilts heavier and too heavy for nights in southeast Texas. These blocks were left over from several projects. I will probably keep this quilt as a reminder of my earlier days of piecing.

current UFO

This is the current UFO that I'm working on. I used to make a lot of scrappy quilts with blocks like this. Making blocks like this no longer interests me. I have 31 blocks and I need to decide what to do with them. I doubt I will get this project finished this year. I have made a decision about the UFO reduction project. Fall is not a good time for me. I didn't reach my goal. I do much better with my UFO's after the 1st of the year. I'm going to start the count and record over in 2010 and see how well I do. I'm going to try for a reduction of 25 projects in 25 weeks.

3 more done

I finished 2 quilts & this pillow. I didn't get pictures of the quilts.
