I've participated in Cynthia's Quilty Adoption Event twice a year for a couple years now, so you'd think I'd have cleared out all of my UFOs. WRONG! Even though I moved this summer AND last summer, I STILL came across UFOs that I didn't even remember having!
The following 7 (seven!!) UFOs are up for grabs. Let me know in a comment any and all projects that you'd be interested in winning, and if there is more than one taker out there by Tuesday evening (9/18), and I will randomly choose recipients. My goal is to get these all out of the sewing room by the end of next week. There are no restrictions on how you use the blocks - make something for yourself, for a family member, for a charity, to sell - it doesn't matter to me. I will ship at my expense anywhere in the US and CANADA.
Ready?
A. WESTERING WOMEN Congratulations, Rebecca! Please send me your address so I can mail your package. There is no email address attached to your profile. If I don't hear from you by Saturday, I will draw a new winner.
In 2016, I participated in Barbara Brackman's Westering Women BOM. I loved making the blocks and reading her posts, but I'm not really a fan of sampler quilts, so I doubt I'll ever make the last three blocks and put it together. Will you? I tried to use repro fabrics, and in addition to the nine 12.5" (unfinished size) blocks I made, I will send what I have left of the fabrics I used in the blocks, in case you want to go ahead and make the last three blocks. Some are just scraps, others are as big as a quarter yard or more.
B. DOTTY Congratulations, Patricia! Package mailed!
I love polka dots, and I love black as a contrast color. But I can't for the life of me figure out where I was going with this project. Half the 9" (unfinished size) blocks are a square in a square, while the other half are a type of sunburst. The polka dot fabric is all Love by Amy Butler. The black is likely a Kona solid, but I can't guarantee that. There are still three uncut fat quarters of polka dot and two 10"xWOF pieces of black along with the leftover bits of the fabrics I already cut (basically 7.5"x21" each).
C. JASON Congratulations, Louise! Package mailed!
Do you know a Jason? I began a quilt for my son, Jason, back when we were taking karate. The quilt was going to feature the colors of the belt up to black belt. However, after receiving our black belts, we stopped taking karate, so this project screeched to a halt. There is a 56"xWOF piece of the black solid, nine 8" (unfinished size) wonky stars in a rainbow of colors, and some various sized scraps of the rainbow solids (but no white or blue). There are two pieced border strips and a free-pieced wonky JASON. I can't even remember what this quilt was supposed to look like.
D. I SPY Congratulations, Crystal! Package mailed!
This was one of my first UFOs from before my second son (who is now 13) was even born, I think. Which means my piecing is probably of questionable quality. There are twenty-eight 6" (unfinished size) snowball blocks, twenty-two additional 6" squares of novelty fabric, and an 8"x72" piece of WOW background fabric. The novelty fabric is everything from vehicles to frogs to aliens to ice cream, etc.
E. STARS Congratulations, Linda! Package mailed!
I taught a class on these star blocks, but I doubt I'm going to make more. They are 12.5" (unfinished size), and there are just 4 of them.
F. QUILT SAYINGS Congratulations, Cheryl! Package mailed!
I had completely forgotten about the block lotto in my guild over a decade ago when I won these blocks. I don't even know which block I made!! (although I think I made the wonky star - very much my style) Each block is 12.5" (unfinished size) and includes a quilty saying. I've included a couple close ups of the sayings for you.
G. MEDALLION Congratulations, Sharon! Please send me your address so I can mail your package. There is no email address attached to your profile. If I don't hear from you by Saturday, I will draw a new winner.
This was the beginnings of my first attempt to make a quilt for my mom, well over a decade ago. I liked the idea of a medallion, but I just couldn't pull it together. The center piece is about 42" square, and there is an extra 4.5" (unfinished size) flower block and an aborted pieced corner piece. There are two 25"xWOF pieces of the background fabric.
Thanks for helping me out. I've been on a major de-stash kick lately, and this, along with the fabric and yarn I've been steadily adding to my ETSY shop, is helping me to stay organized, focus and FINISH!
I'm linking up with Cynthia's Quilty Adoption Event. Check it out to see if there are other items out there that you'd like.
