After finishing this year’s UFOs, I decided I need another 6 for the last 6 months of the year. This time, however, I’m showing the “before” pictures!
UFO #1: This is the remnants of one of Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr’s mystery quilts. I do like their quilts, but I wasn’t enjoying this one, so I stopped. Here are the blocks I made before quitting:
I did make a top using some of them earlier this year, but don’t have a picture of it. Here are the remaining blocks, which are now designated UFO #1.
UFO #2: I started this Laura Heine design with the help of a friend, and just need to get it done. The best part is: those larger flowers are scraps from a dress I made for myself in the 1990s! 
UFO #3: This was a perfectly good block until it became the center of my attempt at the Stay At Home Round Robin. I think I ruined it, so it became a UFO and I need to figure out what to do with it. Stay tuned.
UFO #4: Yikes! I think this was part of a Moda “skill builder” started YEARS ago! I’ve made a couple of quilts with parts of it; here is the top of one of them. 
And now here’s what’s left! 
As you can see, I made some modifications in the original pattern… It’s now UFO #4.
UFO #5: A friend gave me this embroidered center block, and I have waaaay too much 30s fabric, so this will be a donation quilt using both. The plan is to add more borders until I think it’s done.
UFO #6: This started out as leaders-and-enders to use scraps, and I have about 100 of these 4″ blocks. The trouble is that there aren’t enough to make a quilt but I am not making leaders and enders as part of current projects. Here are a few blocks of what is now UFO #6.
Of course the best laid plans, etc, but I intend to do one a month for the rest of the year. To be continued!
Zippy Quilts 
It would be way too complicated to piece the MQS blocks just as they are shown — substituting fabric for the design wall that peeks through — but that would be smashing, wouldn’t it? So maybe a modified version of a ‘building blocks’ sort of setting. As for the others — an eclectic array. I’ve only known you since you’ve made more contemporary/modern designs so that embroidered piece is a surprise to see! Have fun with all the design possibilities!
Haha. That embroidered piece isn’t “me”, but I inherited a bunch of 30’s style fabrics so it all works out. And I kind of like the idea of piecing those blocks similar to the way they’re on the design wall now that you mention it. I hadn’t thought of that! We’ll see…
I was thinking the same as nbhilyard — what an assortment! You should not get bored, with so many different styles to work with!
Yep, some of us can’t seem to stick with just one thing!
Some wonderful possibilities there. I look forward to seeing what you do with them
Thanks! I look forward to seeing what happens too!
I can see we will have a colorful parade of quilts over the next six months!
Let’s hope so! Thanks for visiting and commenting.
I love, love, love them all! Your Ringle/Kerr blocks are simply fabulous! I can’t believe you didn’t enjoy where those were headed. They look so happy and fun! And the purple, Stay At Home Round Robin block is smashing! Maybe it’s because I have so little purple in my stash, but I can envision this one becoming a spectacular modern medallion. In any case, you have some great UFO options to work on. They’ll each be delightful finishes. Enjoy the process. I’m cheering you on the sidelines.
Thanks for the encouragement! And I love those Modern Mystery blocks too, just not their final arrangement. We’ll see what happens….
So many awesome pieces and I love the blocks from the Weeks Ringle and Bill Kerr’s mystery quilt!
I love those blocks, too. We’ll see what happens!
You certainly have your work cut out for, with just over five months to go. Good luck!
Oh, but look at all the fun I’ll have!
