I spent most of the week quilting my mystery quilt - which is DONE! Just have to bind that one now, and I'll be able to show a picture. But that means my design wall hasn't changed much this week. It still has the pink linked squares quilt on it. I did make a decision on bordering the quilt, and I started on that last night. I think this will go quickly, and then pink can come off the wall and join the pile of "to be quilted" - which seems to be growing this year, rather than decreasing.
Also out, although not on the wall because there isn't room, is my UFO for July. Judy picked #2, which is my dragon stained glass quilt. I've been avoiding this one for some time - hopefully this challenge will give me the incentive to actually make some progress on it this month.

you know the secret to getting a challenging UFO done is to work on it 20 min a day. You'll see the progress and will pick up momentum! The dragon stainglass it too cool and intense to sit in a box! He might burn his way through!
ReplyDeleteLove the linked blogs. Very cool. I agree with Nina- Marie, working for just 20 minutes a day on a challenging project makes it a lot easier to face and finish. Good luck with this month's UFO.
ReplyDeleteWay cool dragon quilt and lots of work still to be done. Nothing like a challenge to get you working on it. And, I like the idea of working on it just a bit every day. Another idea to consider is never stop work right after sewing, always have the next spot ready for stitching -- you might be able to squeeze in stitching a little bit while waiting for the coffee to perk or water to boil. Nice pin quilt too.
ReplyDeleteLove the linked blocks. The pattern looks like it goes together fast. I may have to make this one.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with everyone else. A little time on the dragon quilt every day will give you steady progress without taking all your time away from other projects.
I like your border idea for the pink quilt. Good luck with the July UFO...it looks challenging!
ReplyDeleteI have a LARGE dragon that I've managed to avoid for at least 15 years. I'm going to have to work on it sooner or later, I hope when I do that it looks as good as yours does!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a finish! I like your pink linked squares. And the stained glass project looks TOUGH! Have a happy week! :)
ReplyDeleteOh I think the stained glass dragon is going to be a masterpiece. Can't wait to see the progress on that one.
