I finished a UFO from 2022!!!
In 2022, my friend Dena and I created a Block of the Month for our quilt guild. The quilt consisted of 12 blocks, all finishing at 12 inches each. The instructions called for cutting the sashing at 2.5 inches, but everyone had the flexibility to increase or decrease the size of the sashing, or eliminate the sashing.
I chosed Kona White, Black, Steel, and Chartreuse for my blocks. A little pop of colour in the binding because I didn't want to cut a full WOF for a few inches -- I lost at binding chicken. And also lost at thread chicken while attaching the binding.
My top was finished shortly after we started the Block of the Month, but sadly, it did not get quilted until recently. In an effort to clear up some UFOs, I decided to do an all-over stipple using green thread for a quick finish. I thought the thread would appear brighter than it did. But I'm still happy with the result.
I found the perfect backing!
Part of me wants to keep this quilt, but I am making efforts to release quilts into the world so they get some love being used by someone.
