It feels great to have a sort of purpose given back to those once abandoned ideas and creations. The excuses have been pushed aside, and a rehashing of sorts is taking place.
It feels good.
If I were a good writer, I would relate all of this to the springtime and the beautiful changes we are seeing all around us.
That I feel somewhat like my gardens outside, clearing out the old remnants of growth last year and getting ready for planting.
New ideas, and a sort of clean slate to start off with. Maybe I will do some type of writing challenges along with all of these projects, always room for improvement.
So, without further ado, here's my chosen UFO for the month of April:
My goal is to finish the top and backing for this quilt.
Here is one of the blocks:
This quilt came about because a good friend gave me that 9-patch block with the yellow and white. I love the print she used, the yellow flowers are surrounded by a grey leafy almost plaid.
The 9-patch stayed on my design wall for almost a year before I figured out just what I wanted to do with it. In trying to use up my scraps lately, I decided to make a version of a log cabin, starting with about an 8 in block as the center of each larger block. I love how it's turning out!
I have not decided yet if I want to have it quilted or quilt it myself. I am leaning towards having it quilted though, I have never had a quilt quilted for me and it feels almost exciting.
