UFO #6 Challenge for October

Here it is the middle of October and I am just now taking the UFO for October out of the box to take a picture of the quilt top.  Yes, the top is complete with borders.  I took a class at our guild.  Thankfully, I have kept all of the guild newsletters.  I was surprised to discover the quilt was less than 5 years old.   I found the information in the June 2008 (Issue 137) newsletter.

The class was given by Libby Smith of Nashville.  The quilt pattern is "Honeycomb Waffle".  A clear view 60-degree ruler is needed.  I used Sara Nephew's Triangle ruler dated 1986.

Beautiful Fall day in Tennessee

Early this afternoon, we hopped in the car and took a short ride to our local Greenway.  My DH took all the great pictures.  Our little dog had a delightful time.  She is now taking her afternoon nap.  Within an hour of arriving back home, the sun disappeared and it's cloudy.  Our timing was perfect.

The top 2 pictures look like they would be good for landscape quilts.

UFO #11 Challenge for September

I started out with approximately 80 signature blocks but soon discovered more blocks were needed, since I kept remembering others who had worked with me through the years.  I chose the pattern, Trip Around the World but have named the quilt, Trip Around MTSU.  There are 96 signature blocks on the front and at least 20 signature blocks will be on the back.  I would like to say the front is complete, but I still need to add a small border before the front is done and then I must piece the back in order to include the additional signature blocks.  There are many people who are looking forward to seeing the completed quilt, so this one cannot remain a UFO.
