UFO progress!

 Finished putting together the quilted jacket I started in November 2025. It sure is heavy, the bottom doesn’t come together (because of my belly), and the back is quite a bit big. I did use a XL sweatshirt for the pattern which accounts for the back. I could make a couple darts but since the jacket is so thick it would be problematic.  For the front I could add a strip to both front edges.  Basically all I need to do is buy some aqua or pink double-fold bias tape to bind it

Next up is a color wash quilt I started years ago from a bag of squares I bought from Wanda in 2023 (the exuberant quilter). I remember I fussed and fussed with this and finally stopped moving squares, but I still think it could be improved!  Now I can put it together and quilt and bind it and this one is done.

The next thing I want to do is finish this alphabet sampler  I started in 2011!! I don’t even remember why I started it but it could be a nice backing for a child’s quilt.  Just need to figure out how to assemble…that’s probably why I stopped 15 years ago…..  oh and a couple hot pads I started two years ago for Christmas presents, or for me as mine are stained and burned!  Actually I love making hot pads, especially out of orphan blocks of which I have none😍
