Excited to be Almost Finished

* update  -totally finished

There are 63 swirl blocks that I started in 2007 so this is a long time UFO.  I started out trying to quilt the floral pattern and did a good job.  Here is a close-up of the quilting on one swirl block.

Then I got tired and frustrated with trying to figure out how to move around in the block (about 30 different ways) to end up where I wanted in order to move to the next without breaking thread so did not do a pleasing job.  I am excited that it is trimmed and ready for binding.

    When I had to take a break from quilting, I pulled out a few more UFOs to work on. About 2012 I took a workshop from Deb Karasik and only paper-pieced one wedge.  Now I at least have 4 done.

 

I chose a different color palette but hope one day it will get finished.  Her pattern is called “Inner Light”.  

    I don’t need another project to work on but adopted a UFO from a guild member.  This week I also pieced 4 quarter units and cut more units and made some progress on this project.  

Both of these are tedious paper-piecing projects so I can only do a little at a time before I need a change.

Hope you enjoy some time sewing or quilting.
