The big list appears

I finished my mystery quilt top. I need to piece the backing and hand over to Mum for quilting on the longarm. It's such a big quilt that I couldn't photograph it properly. It covers the top of our King size bed.



This is the final picture of the mystery quilt designed by Cathy Stevenson.


















Here is part of my final quilt - the colours are very different! Mine are all repro fabrics, but they are vivid and bright. Not one bit of brown.



But I must go ACK! again!! I found 3 UFOs today that I had completely forgotten about... so I bit the bullet and made the big list. It's on the right column down the bottom. There to haunt me until the numbers go down somewhat. *sigh*. I am not panicking. Not yet.




I won the 6 redwork squares Christmas 2006 or 2007 at our end of year do... still to make them into something.





These baskets are made from 1930s feedsacks. I have made 42. I have fabric for 2 more baskets I think - but that's an odd number. I must check my design plan.

Also found the eau de nil or 1930s green fabric I bought to go with it. Was it for sashing or binding??? We are talking about 2 years ago. Sandra, Rosie, Andrea and I all started working on our feed sack quilts together.









Finally, I found a stack of 1930s squares cut out to make a baby quilt Irish chain.

Brave woman. I made my first UFO list last year and was stunned to find I had more than 3 projects going :). That's what I'd always told myself so that was what I believed. Your embroider and applique are just beautiful, thanks for sharing, Sharyn/KalamaQuilts
