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!
