Sunflower or ?

Did it again - got the "change" bug and made a few changes to a quilt block and came up with my version of sunflower.  The original has white space in the four corners so that there are really only 2 petals in each side and the center is a square.  Then to avoid adding another ufo to my mountain of ufos, I went ahead and finished it into a table topper.  I'm not too thrilled with it.  Since I added a black inner border, I think I should have had dark binding also. But it turned out to be a light green because that was what I used on the backing and I brought it forward to form the binding.  For the backing I was able to use up another orphan block so that makes this ufo#15. I think I like the back better.

I showed it to my husband and he quips up:    "Oh a worm hole!"     Ay ya yi - back to the drawing board.

UFO #11

Neonatal quilt done, so ufo #11 is off my list.  Now the fabric was NOT my choice.  This was a kit I got at the last sew day devoted to neonatal quilts.  Too psychadelic for me - LOL.  I hope the preemie who gets this one doesn't get traumatized.  Then seeing how these are draped over the neonatal units, I picked a more soothing back for it since that is what the baby will see.  And it is below:

UFO #7

Okay, it's just a pre-printed/quilted panel. I just refuse to call it a cheater panel - LOL. I added the binding. It was a ufo cuz I bought it out of a bargain bin with every intention of making a baby quilt, so to me it qualifies as a ufo - it was waiting to get finished.

This one's going to the local crisis pregnancy center. Thin - just right for summer. Now to find UFO #8.

Hugs,

QAIG Finale

I did finish this a while ago, but the Christmas prep and festivities kept me from posting sooner. I'm pleased with how it turned out. This is the next to the biggest one I have quilted this way. It came out to 60"x72". It got quilted in 3 sections and then I added the borders. I assembled the borders and did a minimal amount of quilting on them then attached them to the center. I then quilted the borders. I am next going to try a large one using a one piece backing instead of pieces. This one will have me piecing batting strips. But that will be further along in 2010. I must admit I found my set of chunky churn dash blocks (the ones I had kept when I made them to send to the swap mistress and then forgot about them. I added another row to the center of the quilt and made it wider that way. That is why you can see that one section of border is wider than the rest. Thanks for looking!
