Project 1 was selected for our Guild UFO challenge for March 2025. March has been very busy, so starting this was left until the end of the month. I embroidered the blocks last Tuesday before going to London and I messed up two of the blocks which ended in the bin. I was using scraps and fat quarters so didn’t have a lot of extra fabric and to make two more blocks, I had to unpick some of the blocks in the bin.
I finished all of the blocks and despite an early start on Wednesday, I decided to trim the blocks ready to piece together. I’m so pleased that I did as I was one block short! Eventually I found it in the waster paper bin. That would have been put in the dustbin, never to be seen again if I had not trimmed the blocks.
I did a simple in the ditch quilting around the blocks using an Alison Glass fabric for the backing.
For the binding I found this stripe by Michael Miller called clown stripe which was a good match for my green St Patrick’s Day inspired fabric selection.
I am hoping for a simple UFO for April as this week is the only week that I am home for the entire week. I have another trip to London to look forward to (not) next week, Pour l'Amour du Fils in Nante and then a Modern Quilt Club retreat at the end of the month.
