Unfinished Projects

I have been plugging away at an old UFO, which has been languishing in my quilting studio - aka, land of unfinished projects.  The pieced letters, while a great graphic for the quilt, are difficult for me.  Give me a pattern, or even a picture, and I can sew most anything.  But I am just making up the letters as I go along...let's just say, my seam ripper and I are good buddies these days.

This one "G" look a long time until it looked the way I wanted it to, and in the correct size. I have also been re-making several of the letters, as the some of the black fabric is of a poor quality.  See my previous post on about this black fabric here.  

Fun wonky stars, also in the UFO box for this quilt - but I'm not loving all that green print.  Think that seam ripper will get used on this part of the quilt, too!

So - it's still a UFO, but I'm making progress.  Think I'll have it done in time for Christmas gifting?

I love your letters. I have been wanting to do some, but I guess I am chickening out since I find reasons not to do them.

Happy New Year!
