Progress on the old UFO
Not much sewing during the week at the moment unfortunately. But I received my last 2 blocks to be able to finish my batik stars top!
I grabbed the stars almost as soon as they arrived to add them to my final row. Of course I had to unpick one of the row that I added to the wrong end of my top (and I hate unpicking!)
But now I am so proud that the centre of the quilt is FINISHED - 8 years after it was first started. This was my challenge for the Lazy Bums for August, probably why I picked it and felt comply to work on it!
Now it needs a border, some quilting and a binding. Hoping this will not take another 8 years ;-) Nicki has challenged me to finish it by Christmas, let's see if I can meet her challenge!
Linking to WIP Wednesday, We did it Wednesday, WOW, Brit Sewing Thursday Link.

I really like how the blue batik adds so much interest to the block. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour blue star quilt is absolutely gorgeous!!! It mesmerizes me and I just want to keep looking at it (I guess they call that eye candy)!
ReplyDeleteI like it. I'll bet it naps good.
ReplyDeleteGood progress on your quilt now.
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up with the Brit Sewing this week.
