Quilting like a Maniac- Relaxing through Quilting.

Went to the   UFO 2020 Challenge from the American Patchwork and Quilting group  and found that this month is #12.  But I've done number 12 in April, so I'm going back to my April done to get this done. PROJECT STATUS BEFORE STATUS AFTER 1  Conversation Quilt April  All material gathered, and two cut, but none sewn.  Suppose to look like this: 2.  Sew Incredible Seasons BOM 2019 JANUARY   3   Flamingo Barn Door for our Dining room using the SewKindofWonderful ruler.   Have all the fabric, and some of it cut.  Need to start sewing. 4  Zen Chic Sky. February   Have the pattern, have the geese all made, need to quilt it.  Started in 2019 in September. 5  Quilt Doodle BOM 2019   Have 8 out of twelve blocks completed.   6  Black & White Paper Piece, 2018   No before picture, I'm just doing the quilt.  Have 4 blocks completed.

During the pandemic like everyone else I began to organize things so I could feel somewhat in control.  Through that I discovered (like every other quilter) that I had so many bits and pieces of extra fabric I just had to get some of it down.  So I made a string quilt for someone's wedding.  And it turned out just beautiful They love it and it's on their bed all the time.  I love how I finished it, with ribbons knotted on top, and the letters that I button stitched on saying "Tied the Knot 2019".  It was a big hit at the wedding shower.

I am so proud of this one, I completed it in 3 months and it was a block of the month for 12 months.  It was difficult but doable as you can see.  Here is what it looked like a month ago and here is where I wrote about doing this challenge (3 times I tried to complete this one) And here is where it is now. I still have to quilt it, I'm waiting for some backing that I got for $7.00 a meter considering I needed at last 9 meters to do this baby.  It's a queen size quilt, with each row a new pattern Some of these patterns were very difficult and some were brand new (like the third from the top - I love this block now, want a complete quilt with just that block). The quilt is by Anne Marie Chany and although I love her patterns this one had to be exact every time.  Each block needed to measure 6 1/2" to perfection.  Many you have to cut down to size.  She gives you bigger sizes on purpose to cut down.  Now that takes a lot of time. But I love how I used up all my scraps in thi
