2 more veterans quilts

Finishing off the UFO conversion quilts

7/5/2019

What a great way to finish off the week. All 3 of the new veterans quilts are totally done! They are bound and ready for delivery.

I had a blue variegated thread that was perfect. It showed up just the same on not quilts, not too dark and not too light. I used the star and ribbon pantograph on these.

I had a light blue backing already dyed that worked well for these. Just so I'm prepared I dyed 4 new veterans quilt backs this week.

I'm so happy that I started out this month getting one more UFO out of the way. I had big plans for the weekend. I want to work on the fish mosaic, load my next big quilt for quilting and start a new quilt. But I've sprained my ankle so I'm not sure what will be happening. I'll see how it goes. At least I have hand sewing if I can't stand much.

When I opened your blog this morning and saw your finished veterans quilts, I was taken aback as I had the same sort of layout idea for leftover batik blocks 3 days ago. And between a dyeing session, I worked on preparing the blocks, cause I was so excited about the simplicity of it. the using up of my leftovers and a quilt with lots of negative space to practice my quilting. You are ahead of me with the finish, love the blue borders. Happy 4th.

Good use of UFO. The quilts turned out great.
Good luck with the sprain. I am sure that you will make good use of KT tape.

Your revamping of an undesired UFO was brilliant! I’m not sure I would have the patience to unpick all the seams you did.

And, of course, I love the blue fabric!

What a great way to use up that UFO and make three veteran quilts! I will be headed to the post office today and finally get those two tops I have mailed to you. Sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope it feels better soon. I tripped over a wood chair this weekend and bruised my upper arm - I will send you a picture. That goodness it didn't bother me sleeping. The soreness is less today so now it is just a matter of time.

Oh dear - didn't know you'd sprained yourself. I'm behind in my commenting so hopefully your ankle is recovering nicely. Wonderful way to make one UFO morph into three finished projects!!
