NOTHING LIKE A CHALLENGE TO GET SOMETHING DONE

You may remember Here where I made the massive statement that I would finish 6 UFO's this year.

Well .......I AM ON MY WAY!!

Here's an update.


1. Material Obsession Avalon?

Complete. (Even though the photo is before I have completed the binding.



2. Chevron 

Fully complete.



This was made for classes at Finders Keepers Giftware and Fabric.  It used Layer Cakes. I machine quilted it. I even added a little hand quilting. I'm up to my 4th group of students for this.


3. Whirlygig

Nearly done.  Just need to finish sewing down the binding.





This one made me a little discouraged.  The cutting instructions were wrong in the pattern and even though I had the top finished it sat in the cupboard for over a year.


4. Rotherfield Grey

Fully complete.



Even though this is not a great photo the quilt is beautiful.  This was a BOM from Homestead Hearth.
My sister in law Leanne and I both did this.  We kept each other motivated.

5. Nundle Squares

Fully complete.





This was actually made about 5 years ago.  I think it was our last weekend at Nundle.

6. One Bite at a Time Sampler

Off to Merediths in the morning.




I have been teaching this quilt to a group of ladies for over a year. They are doing a beautiful job.  They are now up to joining the blocks together.  The techniques they have been learning are piecing, paper foundation piecing, machine appliqué and curved piecing. 

My own design.



And just cause I could.



7. Brigitte Giblin Hexagon Quilt

At Meredith's



Another not great photo. It is the bright  one with the black spot border.  I'll post a full size when it is finished. 

8. Material Obsession Mystery Quilt

I need to buy some backing for this and then it's off to Meredith as well.






This was a 2009 BOM.  A mistake in the pattern meant that it has been put away since 2009.  In May I dug it out and worked it out myself.  Had to go to the far recess of my mind for Pythagorus Theorum.


So that's it!
On the way to having 8 finishes for the year.
Funnily enough I only realised it was 8 tonight.
