June UFO Challenge

 Have you noticed I haven't mentioned my June UFO Challenge project? Last June it was the ornament walling hanging, the ornament wall hanging came up again this June. Hmmm, I've decided I really don't want to make it. I have one finished, I really don't need a second one and don't feel like making it as a possible Xmas gift...soooo, I kitted everything up with a few process notes and took it to my guild meeting today. The person who chairs our quilt show country store grabbed it. She is hoping someone in the guild will finish it to sell or, if not, they will sell the kit at the show. Win win and out of my house. Wonder if I have others lurking in the closets that I could donate.

So far I'm five for five...five finished quilt tops in five weeks. Four on the Moxie. This week's quilt started out like this:

I picked this top up at a Quilts for Kids meeting. It was about 25 x 43 inches. Kinda small. Cute but needed something more. So I added more fabric to the sides (love love love the bug fabric given to me by Angela) then did an all over design using a variegated thread.

Not the best lighting for the picture. I hate quilting with variegated threads (never got the tension 100% perfect and the thread kept breaking) but I think it was the perfect choice for this quilt. This was so fun to quilt. The colorful stripe back and stripe binding put the icing on the cake. 

I'm not sure I'll be able to load and quilt a top this week. I have three days of Handi Quilter classes this week - including a ruler class (so excited!!!). So may be a bit quilted out to actually quilt something.
