Yup, I’m back from vacation, rested and ready to get back to work on my UFOs. Okay, in actuality, I’m back, I’m unpacked, and I’m tired, but I don’t want to let UFO Thursday sink into oblivion.
One of my UFOs (I have my first ten or so listed under the “UFO” tab at the top of this web page) is Amanajean’s 9-patch quilt I started with her first group this spring. I’m making mine a little bit bigger, and I need a total of 80 9-patch blocks. I finished up ten more, counted up my total, and … I have 75!!! If I realized I was that close, I would have done 15 instead of ten! Here they are in all their scrappiness (these are all made out of my garbage scrap basket):
Amandajean has started a second quilt-along of this 9-patch quilt, in case you’re interested. Her plan is to piece a block a day, but that doesn’t work for me. I need to do several at a time. This quilt WILL BE DONE this summer! Woo-hoo!!!
How are you doing on your UFOs, any progress to report? Hang in there, every little bit counts, and don’t put it away. Leave it out where it can haunt — I mean, remind you. Happy quilting, whether it’s on new projects or old. It’s so good to be back home where I can sew!

Welcome home!. I’m enjoying your vacation pix and comments1 I am happy to report that I have finally machine sewn the binding on our king size quilt ( my it’s a heavy thing!) and am now working on the hand part. Yes I know I could machine sew it down but it’s way too big to try to tackle that new attempt so I will save that for a smaller project. And I managed to cut out and start piecing a Christmas wall hanging that I saw at a LQS before we moved. Plus I did some cross stiching on some of those stamped blocks that I have been working on. Now- I’m curious- how many fabric souvenirs (sp?) did you bring home?????
