UFO Busting!

It’s been a hot week for UFO Busting…I actually have more than one finish!! 

Having said that…I have only taken pictures of one quilt so you will just have to wait to see the other TWO!!  Yes, I said TWO…this old lady is HOT…on fire!:o))

Here she is…(you may remember her from HERE)…this little basket quilt was a UFO from a quilter in Hemet CA…the blocks were sewn into the corner of a quilt and then unfinished, stuffed into a bag and sold for $1.00 at the Hemet Quilter’s Boutique!  And I was the lucky buyer!

 P1240067

Sew…I took the blocks apart and pieced them back together to make this little quilt…I found some red polk-a-dot fabric for border, backing and binding and there she blows!  DONE!P1240069I quilted her with loops and flowers…   P1240072 P1240074

And she is ready to hang…I just don’t know where…yet!

P1240084

Stay tuned for more UFO BUSTING!!  I seem to be on a roll…

I hope that you are doing some BUSTING of your own!! 

Have a good one!~P

    I love basket quilts but for me, I rather make prim appliqué ones.

    Yep I hear the sizzling all the way down here in South Florida. This is a great finish and love the loops and flowers quilting. Perfect for the baskets.

    How sweet it looks. You polished a diamond in the rough. Too bad the original quilter won't see the finish, eh?

    I just picked up a quilt top at my Goodwill that I will have to take apart and put back together. Hopefully mine will turn out cute too!!
