My One Block Wonder is finished!
Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times and her UFO Challenge.
This month I have been busy quilting for others but I made an effort to save a day to quilt this for myself. It isn't for a show or a gift or anything special, just for me to hang on the wall in my quilting area.
The quilting isn't planned out or fancy. I played with curls in the border, swirls in the center, and some X's in the small green border.
I wish I had a piece of the original fabric but it was something old that I had around and I ended up using it all for the top. I love this pattern and hope to make another someday with some really beautiful fabric and be sure to save some of the original fabric for the border or back.
I have such a sense of accomplishment just because I finished this and crossed it off the list.
Why did it take two years to quilt this? Why do we have UFO's at all and need a challenge to get them finished? I don't think there is one answer, just something to think about.
Anyway, I am glad to be able to share this finish with you and look forward to seeing all the other #1's worked on this month.
Thanks again to Judy and her link today.
