Knowing I have to report my progress (or lack thereof) on Thursdays has made me spend more time at least THINKING about my unfinished quilting projects.

Unnamed, January 2009 — Original Layout

Pretty new for a UFO!  I’m motivated to get this lap quilt done because the colors will work in the sun room Jim’s new man cave.  I just have to finish the quilting and bind it.  I am about 80% done with the quilting, using a pantograph.  My goal is completed pictures next week!

Grandmother’s Flower Garden,  July 2008

I really do enjoy hand stitching these blocks.  I won’t show a boring picture of a few more hexies prepped. 

That’s it for me this week.  Did you get any stitching done on your UFOs this week?  If so, post a link on my blog dedicated to UFO progress, www.thursdayschildhasfartosew.blogspot.com.

Has Far to Sew.  Even though I’ve checked, and I WASN’T born on a Thursday, I believe I must have been due on a Thursday.  I have a very long way to go sew before I am even close to caught up on sewing/quilting projects.

My UFO progress this week:

I completed two more blocks for my Grandmother’s Flower Garden.  All the flower blocks are ’30s prints, and the “path” is sort of a lavender gray.  It’s going to be lap sized, a quilt I can have at the end of the bed or over a chair.  I now have 12 blocks done, 26 to go!  (And a photo tip:  if I would have used flash, the wrinkles in the block wouldn’t show!)

How are you doing on your UFOs?  Did you make any progress this week?  Click here for my new UFO support blog (Thursday’s Child Has Far To Sew).
