I had a small but significant finish.
Back in August I made this 22 inch square top
from some Lotta Jansdotter charm squares
for a challenge for Modern8 Create.
I cut circles and inset them, but then stalled on the project.
So I proceeded this week by taking it apart --
actually, only removing one square
And quilted it
To make a cover for my Juki QL98 sewing machine.
Here's a side and back view, where you can see how the missing square
accommodates the thread stand.
I bound and backed it with Kona Espresso,
and quilted it with brown thread.
I'm going to the use the leftover Lotta fabric to make a matching pad
for underneath the machine.

How smart are you? What a great idea and it makes a great machine cover. Thanks for linking up to TGIFF!
Great idea for a sewing machine cover! The circles look fantastic too!
Great idea with finishing the UFO. Maybe I should be thinking "outside the box" and get some of my UFOs repurposed! Thanks for the inspriation.
great way to give new life to an old UFO! Who says a project needs to end up as what it started out to be?
That is so beautiful and creative. Sometimes I have to put a project aside for a long time before it "speaks" to me again.
Nice ending for an ongoing conundrum! Now you get to see those great fabrics all the time!Love that collection... Might have take a closer look and try something for my machine in the loft...
Ah a machine cover is on my to-do list this year! I love the darker quilt thread and backing and the fact that the missing circle has found pride of place in the next project.
Spiffy finish Brenda!
How smart! I'm definitely going to have to "borrow" your idea. Love the fabrics and the design too...
