UFO Project #2  May

This Sampler Quilt was hand pieced in 1989.  Some of the hand quilting has been done.  The picture was taken over 10 years ago.

April's UFO remains unfinished

April's project; The Neck-Tie Quilt remains unfinished.  Actually, I did not work on it, except to post the pictures on-line.

I used the month of April to work on a Photo Transfer Quilt for my nephew and his wife.  The top is complete and I pieced the back today.  No pictures can be posted on this quilt, until they have received it.  I don't want to spoil the surprise on how it looks.

UFO Project #10 April

Lolita's Class Sample Block

Is it April already?  My next UFO is the Neck-tie quilt.  Lolita from our Quilt Guild gave a class last year.  She is a wonderful teacher, so I was quite inspired to get to work last year.  There are several hours of prep work to take the ties apart after being washed.  I found this was a good project while watching T.V.  I did get that part done last year.  However, my problem arose when I tried to get the light-weight fusible interfacing to stick on the back of each tie prior to cutting.  If you get the iron too hot, it won't stick.

Ties cut and ready for sewing
