Attack of the UFO

Of course the beginning of a new year always tempts me towards new projects but I also wrote down my list of 12 projects for APQ UFO challenge to try and focus on a few forgotten, long abandoned projects.

I didn't fare very well last year on that challenge as I only completed 2.

The first project I picked (which was also on my list last year) was the Modern HST quilt that I started in 2016. I worked on it again last February and was so nearly there but then I hit 2 problems.

The first one is that I don't have enough background fabric to finish my blocks. I was planing to order some but hadn't at the time. I ordered some this weekend, only to be told that it is out of stock.... so the search is still on...

The second one was that I made a mistake in the assembly of block 20, unpicked it and duly lost part of the blocks so parked it until I found it again...which finally happened at the end of last year (I know...) so I finished the block last week. First block of 2019 😊

I now have 20 completed blocks

A few more to make to be able to assemble the top but the background fabric is running very low!

Let's hope I'll get to the stage of a finished top by the end of the month before my attention gets diverted towards shiny new projects....
