UFO Busting Report~

Progress on the UFO Busting noted!! 

The Bow Tie Table Topper is finally together…and look VERY sweet!  Where to go from here??  Borders…no borders?  Decisions to be made!

  This was from a Challenge with Bonnie Hunter…you can see her monster Bow Tie Quilt HERE!  How in the world does this quilter do it all?  If you read Bonnie’s Blog then you know how she travels the countryside giving workshops…sometimes around the world!  She writes books and then in the meantime bangs off these magnificent scrap quilts!  Right now her and her hubby are renovating her basement sewing room while she keeps on sewing and giving podcast sewing evenings!  She makes me tired just reading her blog…but it’s a good tired! :o)))

Thank goodness because my evenings have been spent hand quilting this Wee Basket Quilt…and I’m happy to report that ALL 162 Basket Blocks are DONE!!

I just have to quilt the borders and put the binding on and another UFO will be busted!  (Insert a happy dance here!)

This quilt is backed by the softest Moda flannel and is super cuddly…so I think I’m actually going to miss stitching on this one! :o)

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Quilt Busting! ~ P

  3. The bow toes and the baskets are fabulous. I'll bet that flannel makes for a super soft and comfortable quilt too.

  11. I wish I could sew with you, need someone to push me, lol. You get so much piecing done, on top of the appliqué and the wool projects and traveling, I need some of your energy;)

  15. It's nice to see another scrappy Bow tie effort. I didn't use the CHEDDAR in mine either. It won't be as big as Bonnie's or have the big pieced border. A simple framing border would suit your table sized Bow ties just right.
