When the year began...
This quilt was one of 12 quilt projects in the running for finishing. I held high hopes that when it rose to the top of my UFO List and I might actually find a way to complete the quilt.

The quilt top...
Was considered part of the "low hanging fruit" category for the (Ravelry) UFO Club, even though 4 years worth of listing it hadn't produced a completed project.
This year I'm really trying for one finish per month...
So when its number came up, I threw it on the design floor to see if I could decide how I might quilt it.
Then, wonder of wonders...
I chose a scrap of backing and layered it up:
Next, it was time for thread selection:
Then, I quilted it up, but two of the last three rows wanted their own thread colors:
With the quilting done, that only left the trimming and binding!!!
Here it is all squared up with binding options being auditioned:
And...
That binding was attached during this afternoon's art time and was sewn down just after lunch.
Here's the picture proof that it's DONE!!!
This photo shows off the matchstick quilting...
And this one gives a more accurate look at the coloration:
I'm SEW pleased that this quilt has been completed. I'm not sure it would have been without the UFO Challenge hosted by my Bee. Thank you again, Maggie, for suggesting we play the UFO Number Game and thanks to Britt for taking the lead. This is my 1st finish for the Summer 2026 session of the UFO Club on Ravelry. It's my 6th finish of our Bee's UFO Challenge and I couldn't be happier that it's been such a good motivator.
Until next time...
Mark another UFO off the List!!!
