Last week in my organizing and cleaning, I discovered a UFO that did not start with me but I was determined to make it a finished top. The note pinned on it said it was missing one block; there were 15. I decided to set them 4 by 5 so I made 5 more. It was not very pretty and only about 42” by 51” ; however, a dark border made the perfect accent.
I cleared off my craft table and pulled two tops that already had backings made. They have now been sandwiched and are ready for quilting when I have the time.
After getting a little work done in the garden, I started piecing the neutral uneven 4 patches that I want to use as a background for special applique. It is now a small top 48 by 64”. I have wondered whether or not I should quilt it and then add the applique. The last time I made a similar quilt, I added all the applique and then quilted around it.
