Glad to have this 16 year old UFO done and out of my sewing room! But I guess it was meant to take that long because it wasn't until last year that I took the free motion quilting challenge and also learned to do feathers at Judy's Patchwork Times.
Next - I have all the blocks of Easy Street done! I'm doing these in a modified QAYG method, so they won't be assembled until I have the back ready to sandwich with the sections.
I've decided on a white border next to the center and a purple outer border. Should be around 58" square and make a nice lap quilt for our living room.
Last, I finished my third goal for February, but am saving it show you tomorrow (that's still Feb) as that is my Applique Thursday & Giveaway day and it is applique. Come back tomorrow to see it.
How did you do? I'm linking to Melissa's A Lovely Year of Finishes and Judy's Getting it Done, and also Carrie's Nothing but UFOs. Check out what others got done.
Congratulations on your finish and your FMQing skills.
