Unfinished Objects (UFO's)

I promise I won't start another quilt until I finish all of my Unfinished Objects (UFO's) says every quilter I know. I usually use my weekends to finish and bind quilts I have going. After having completed two very small quilts this last week, my sewing room looked like a major storm had passed through it. I decided I needed to clean and reorganize this morning before I could attack anything else. I successfully stayed focused long enough to give the room a good thorough cleaning and vacuming. 

I also sorted through all unfinished items and kind of prioritized what I need to get done. First, I want to get these two mini quilts binded. I plan to submit these two to the quiltcon 2024 mini quilts competition. Top one is called "Blooming" and the bottom one is called "Fusion". Two friends/mentors recommended the facing type of binding so I had to look at a few tutorials on that process. I will have pics when done. I quilted the Blooming (Top one) with Modern Curves and the bottom was just straight lines about 3/4" apart. 

I have this quilt I need to finish binding so I can get it donated to Community First. I don't have much to go. 

I still need to bind and put label on this entry to the Quiltcon color challenge-deadline is October 31, 2023! 

I'm calling this one "After the Storm". I was very pleased with how this one turned out. Even after all the struggle with the Storm at Sea blocks and that Lone Star. It was worth the work I think.

I have this one that I need to complete. I'm calling it "The Games we Play" because I feel like it looks like a game board. I created this one in the Electric Quilt Program and it is turning out beautiful. Can't wait to show you finished project. 

So, as you can see I have plenty to do. I love that. It made me think of that saying:

On top of all that, we took time out to view the Solar Eclipse (with special glasses). It was so cool. I had to go and purchase some fabric at Over the Top Quilting Studio today and there were so many people there looking at the Eclipse. It was like a party. I'm signing out to get started on all these projects. Let's see if I can keep myself from starting a new quilt! Happy Quilting folks!
