Not one, but Two UFO's Finished

I am so excited, I finished not one but two quilts from my UFO list. The first one I finished was the Bonnie Hunter, Bricks and Stepping Stones, that I renamed Amazing Grace. I finished sewing t he binding on the second quilt, Glory Bound today. I love the way that it turned out. I could have named it Amazing Grace II because I lost some of the fabrics for it. I went into my stash and replaced the pieces that I had lost, then of course I found the ones I had lost. I think that I like it better with the fabrics from my stash than the original fabrics. It is definitely one of my favorite quilts.

Thimbles Weekend.

I don't know where the time went last week. I seem to have developed sewers ADD, and can't get anything done anymore. Friday I went to Thimbles, I had to find a project to take since my Glory Bound is still on the design wall, not pinned, and I wasn't about to take it down and lay it out again. My method this year for finishing up UFO's to to "pick a box", all of my UFO's are in boxes stacked up so I just pick one. Here it is Box #2 for the year. I wonder what is in it?

Here it is. a flannel quilt I started about three years ago from some leftovers from some other projects, plus fat quarters that I had bought just because I liked them. It is definitely time to finish this. I have most of the pieces cut, just need to sew them together. There are only two

blocks in the quilt, one is 2 strips that are 3 1/2 inches wide sewn together, the other block is

three strips that are 2 1/2 inches wide sewn together. The blocks are laid out in an alternating pattern. This was definitely a good Thimbles project to work on. I have to take projects there that I really don't have to think about much, because I get so busy talking that I don't always pay attention to what I am working on. I managed to get all of the two strip blocks finished and some of the three strip ones before I gave out. It was great to see everyone. Check out Pat's blog for some great show and tell photos.
