Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday)!! I'm here to share what I did over my extended weekend. The post title might have given you a little clue, I'm sure, but I have quite a few projects on my Spring 2025 (Ravelry) UFO Club project list.
What did you finish, Joyful???
It's RED month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge:
I used scrap strips and stash last year...
To make not one, but TWO Jumbo Jelly Roll Race quilts during RED month. Here is one of those waiting to be pressed b my friend's latest steam machine:
This is one of the two quilts that I loaded on my friend Tiffany's longarm during this weekend's Mini-Retreat. It sits in one corner of her spacious basement sewing room:
The first morning, I got up early, had breakfast and headed down to attach the binding to the quilt that I quilted the evening before:
Once that was completed, I got right to work on the next project. The second finish was quilted in a wave pattern and is shown in the photo below:
Short Track RED Race
40" x 43"
Apparently, I was so excited about my first finish...
That I forgot to get a photo while at Tiffany's so I draped it across the rails of my longarm when I got home. I needed to share the finishes with you and the members of the UFO Club on Ravelry. I quilted this one with large loops, but they are hard to see from the angle the photo was taken:
The Big RED Race Quilt
40" x 47"
In the background of the photo shown above, you can see that I had (incorrectly) prepared for another Color of the Month. With how productive I was on my Mini-Retreat, I probably should have taken it with me and been ahead of the game. Thank you SEW much for the invitation, Tiffany! I'm looking forward to getting together again soon and I'm pleased to have these quilts ready to donate later this month at my local quilt guild.
Until next time...
Mark another UFO (or TWO) off the list!!!
Awesome finishes!
ReplyDeleteThose are great finishes, Joy! And perfectly just in time for red month, too. It's such a good feeling to finish up things that have been hanging around for awhile!
ReplyDeleteWhat great finishes! You are rocking the finishes this year.

Great red scrap quilt finishes, Joy!!!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to see you use red fabrics! I'm especially admiring the quilt, and thinking in my head that I hope it doesn't bleed when it's washed! You might guess that I've had a bad experience or two with the color red. Since I have no more red fabrics in my print stash, I won't worry about it. :-)
