Welcome to another edition of Wonderful Wednesday here at The Joyful Quilter!! As mentioned in Saturday's RSC post, here is my latest UFO Club finish from my Summer 2025 UFO Club list. I added the final stitches last Thursday afternoon.
When I completed my TABLE SCRAPS Challenge quilt early, wondered if I might be able to sneak in some more sewing for AQUA month at the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. I immediately thought of another of the projects pieced during a not-so-recent quilt retreat:
10. QFK JRR on Steroids (2023)
I had hoped to mark this off my list last year...
However, that didn't happen. It was the perfect project for last week since it was already sitting out and waiting for some attention! That made things easier, as all I had to do was locate enough scrap batting to layer the quilt and seam the backing provided in the kit from my local quilt guild:
The photo below shows me dropping in the last few basting pins before heading to the machine for some Stitch-in-the-Ditch quilting:
The next photo skips to the final corner of binding application:
There was enough of the coordinating backing fabric to do the binding:
Here is the obligatory porch swing quilt reveal...
Along with a photo taken during last Thursday's Monthly Evening Quilt Bee meeting as part of my Show and Tell:
I can't describe how happy I am to have finally prepared this quilt for donation. The kit has been waiting for attention for a number of years. I'm pretty sure that it moved with me from our previous home. Color me somewhat embarrassed, but it's the nature of projects in my studio. As Quilt Diva Julie would say, "Follow the Squirrel" which means work on the project that excites you in the moment (until a deadline crops up.)
Until next time...
Mark another UFO off the list!!
