I've had a productive week with a few little finishes to show.
I began the year by digging in my abandoned UFO box
(yes, I have an active UFO box too!)
and found this 10 inch free-pieced sewing machine dating back several years.
I practiced my free motion quilting on it and bound it
and now it's ready to hang on a sewing room wall somewhere.
This little quilt has a fraternal twin sister that is still in the flimsy stage.
I finished hand appliquing my happy scrappy basket of flowers.
And I took this little string quilt from the abandoned UFO pile, added one more row of strings
(I'm not sure what it says about me that I could find the same fabrics in my scrap boxes,
since this is a really old UFO.)
and bordered it with leftovers from another recent project.
I machine quilted this one with wavy ribbons in the strings,
and freemotion feathers around the border.
All it needs is a binding and it can join the pile of baby quilts
my guild is making this year.
This one measures 32 by 35, so it would be perfect for a preemie boy.
I'm linking up with Amanda's Finish it up Friday post and Amy Lou's Sew and Tell.
and Sew Darn Crafty.
