Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday!! I'm here to share my first UFO finish of 2025. I completed the following quilt top some months ago for the 2024 Rainbow Scrap Challenge. This is the story of its finishing.
If you're in the Quilters Knitting group on Ravelry you may have already seen it...
This donation quilt has been waiting a number of months for quilting. When face with what to do at a recent Sew Day, starting a new project just didn't feel right for me. Instead, I phoned a friend and she agreed to pin baste the 40" x 50" quilt for me. Here is my sewing station as the work began, thanks to Britt:
I feel SEW lucky to have such a good friend!!
Here is the partially quilted top at the end of the day:
Ignore that bunchy part at the bottom of the photo! I neglected to engage my machine's even feed foot before starting to quilt. I later ripped out the offending section and all was well.
Only a few steps left!!!
Over the next few days I chipped away at the remaining quilting, the squaring up, and the binding. This was the only process photo during that time...
The last of the binding (which Britt had cut for me) had been completed:
And...
Here is the porch swing photo:
Until next time...
Mark another UFO off the list!!
Congratulations on the finish! So pretty in pink!
ReplyDeleteYay! How great to have finished a UFO and are’t friends that cut binding the best?!?!
ReplyDeleteHooray for finishing a UFO and a triple hooray for the friends that help us when we are in need!---TerryK@OnGoingProjects
ReplyDeleteIt's pink and it's ombre. Very pretty! Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great finish, some little girl will adore it.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! That's PINK alright! But it's beautiful. Congrats and thanks to Britt for making this finish possible. ;^)
ReplyDeleteI saw it on Ravelry. You have a great finish with this one (and hit the pink month for the RSC as well!)
ReplyDeleteAren't quilty friends the best? Our small group have been together for more than 25 years and our husbands all socialize with us, too. We support each other through thick and thin. Sadly, we've lost two of the group in the last few years. Congratulations on getting the pink donation quilt completed, during pink month even.
