My favorite easy quilt pattern called LUCKY STARS . This has a smudged black batik background with batik and hand dye stars. I still love it..
This is another quilt from a movie called A Gift of Love. An old Christmas movie. The concept is good, but when I look at it I wonder if I continue, will all of these hand dyes bleed all over the white? Probably. Back burner, or start again with different fabrics.
This is from a pattern called Interlocking Chains. Good idea, nice pattern. I think I bought this as a kit, and the fabric was cut wrong. It's been a long time since I worked on it, but it is colorful and interesting. It would make a good gift.
This is an Ohio Star quilt that I was making with hand dyes. The blocks are 6". I will finish this one.
This was going to be a nine patch gradation quilt. I'm thinking of changing it into a Jack's Chain. Black and Hand dyed fabrics
Keeping my favorite bible verses within reach was the reason for starting this quilt. I like this one to, and I will finish it.
Is it a UFO if you have put the fabric together and have a pattern? Shenandoah Log Cabin by Judy MartinThese are fabrics and a pattern for Shakespere in the Park, also by Judy Martin
These are friendship star blocks done in a swap several years ago. They are for a signature quilt.
This is also a stack of blocks done in a signature block swap that used this Paula Burch Southwest Fabric collection.
These are photo squares from a fourth of July family reunion. The kids featured are my two daughters and a cousin.. Yeah, that's how old these blocks are. The other is also for a signature quilt.. also old.My thirties repro pickle dish
A Twelve Dogs of Christmas fabric panel and collection of 5" prints.. didn't get made for the past two Christmas seasons.. perhaps will be done for the next one. I have 11 months.This is fabric for a quilt called Hidden Circles. Found this in a magazine. Lot's of points and curves.
This is a wallhanging for Fall. If I wouldn't want it myself, I know it would make a good gift for other friends or family .This is for a pinwheel quilt with hand dyed fabrics and black. Easily done, good gift.
This is a handyed fabric and black for a larger version of my miniature in the side bar. These are 3" blocksThese were big batik Hawaiian Applique blocks. It was a block of the month that was done by a local quilt shop several years back. They are hand appliqued.
These are smaller applique blocks, hand applique, 8". Just a sampler of some of the blocks in this book by ELIZABETH ROOT. I am thinking now, that I will probably have a problem with the hand dyed fabrics bleeding onto the white. I am going to attempt to head it off at the pass, but, If I had to do it over again, I would definitely be more cautious about the materials that I have used for a lengthy, time consuming project.I'm not much of a cat lover, but I do love cat patterns. Weird huh? Lot's of different fabrics, and it will make a good gift for one of my cat loving family or friends.
I will admit that I am planning for grandchildren. I have been buying things that would go with a coordinating quilt. This year, Kohls had stuffed animals based on these favorite mouse books. My kids loved IF YOU GIVE A MOUSE A COOKIE I bought this book, two mice, and will eventually make a themed kids quilt for a future gift. A back burner project.Quilt, ornament and book... back burner gift idea
Pooh book and ornament, just needing a themed quilt and a grandchild.
This is a pattern and fabric for a Mother Goose quilt
Fabric and Pattern for a paperdoll quilt
A fabric panel for an ABC quilt- song lyrics are what attracted me to this fabric..
I even found a Christmas gift UFO to knit.. white mittens to go with this book.. and perhaps a bear?
And finally, this project that I found and forgot about. It is to make a quilt called "A Trip Around New York. I have used blacks and metallic cottons, and black prints in the spire sections.
I have come across more, which are on the memory card in my camera. I will post another bunch when I have enough.
So you see, I have many that are just too nice to get rid of. And I do still like all of them.
I would like to get a quilt ready for competition. I have been away from the game long enough. Mostly because I am lazy, and I have a day job that takes all of my energy, so that by the time I get home, all I want to do is slug on the couch and knit. That is another goal.
So, here are most of my ufo's what do you think?

Wow, I am just amazed. So many lovely blocks and quilts and all together to boot! I am also jealous - you could spend the whole year on this lot. I don't think I can even find half my stuff at the moment.
Looks like you are really going to enjoy yourself this year
I love, love, your UFOs but I am crazy about the pickle dish and the trip around NY
Ohhh and I forgot about the Elizabeth Root Hawaiians...so glorious
