UFO Challenge Check-in 8

 Wow, 8 weeks of steady work on my UFOs has really helped me accomplish quite a bit of work!  I finished another quilt this week - Blue and Yellow Reflections.  I could not decided how to finish it, but in the end the quilt told me it wanted me to do it all in the curved outlines, so that's what I did.  I am very happy with the results!

I added a dark blue binding, and the back is pieced with some chickens in blue and strips of leftover fabric.  Yay for a little more fabric out of my stash!  Now I really need to get some more quilts basted this week.  I have three that have backs and are ready, I just need to get the batting figured out.  I'm using up all the random pieces of that as well!

I made four more Oddfellow's Star units.  Only 6 left, and I think I might go ahead and do all of them this week so I can lay out the blocks to see how they are going to look!  Then I'll have to remove the papers, which will take a while! 

I finished appliqueing the two EPP blocks I pieced last week.

Both of these had some raw edge applique done by machine as well.

They came out really well!

And I got the next two blocks pieced and appliqued.  They are really cute as well!  Both of these also need some hand embroidery, so that will be done this week.

And last, but not least I finished another Dogwood block.  That makes a total of 8 I have done and I have four more ready for stitching.  That makes 12, so I might play around with how they will lay out and decided if I am done with the blocks.  

So not a bad week!  I am deciding what piecing I want to take on next.  I know that Alice's Wonderland needs a whole lot of diamond in a square units for the border, so it might be a good time to get started on those, and I have a Giant Dahlia quilt that needs a pieced border as well.  I think I'd like to choose fabrics for that - it's batik, so always fun to dig through those!

I'm happy with my progress, and even started something new this week, so that was fun!  It's a Christmas project so I need to make sure that's a finish before too long.  Just a small quilt.  But it might be a couple of table runners as well...we'll see!  Hope your week is productive as well!
