2017 UFO Challenge Update

Judy at Patchwork Times is doing her 2017 UFO Challenge 
and I'm playing along.

I'm not a great player but I'm trying.

Last month she chose # 11 which is my Scrappy Stars.
I had a bunch of 3" string blocks and crumb blocks so I got busy.


I saw a quilt Bonnie was working on and I loved her stars so I made mine like hers. 
My quilt top is a cuddle quilt,not bed size.
I'm pretty anxious to quilt this one.


I had all the blocks complete before retreat.
I thought it would be fun to show Bonnie how I was setting my blocks.
I haven't seen her finished quilt.
I just know that this is as far as I'm going with mine.
Daisy tested and approved. 

Now I can get  out June's UFO and get busy with that.


I have 6 complete blocks and parts for several more.
This is UFO #7,
Deli Geese Project, a free design from Pat Speth of Nickel Quilts.
If you search her archives. these are still available.
(While going to get the link, I noticed an new project has started.
Do I dare look???)
I've decided to march forward with another cuddle quilt.
I'll figure out how many more I need and get busy, 
I'm sure I have enough charm packs and squares to make more than enough blocks.

Can't wait for pictures of her Quilts hanging at Hershey. Your Stars and Strings is great. Good luck on the next UFO.
