We have been out of school most of this week. We went Monday and then the winter storm hit. We will not go back until Monday. It was a great week to quilt! I quilted the Challenge Quilt for the MQS that the Longarm Quilt Guild I go to in Springfield is doing. The quilt is red, white and black. I just have to put on a sleeve and the binding.
I have also worked on some UFOs this week. I finished piecing the blocks for a BOM from a local quilt shop today. They are big blocks...18" finished size. I need to get the sashing and border fabric for it. Haven't decided exactly how to finish it yet though.
I also finished piecing the blocks for another BOM I started 3 years ago. The blocks have applique flowers on them. I am doing machine applique. I have 3 blocks to finish the applique on. It has a pieced border that will take so time. Haven't started the borders yet.
I worked on the blocks this morning. This afternoon, I put borders on 2 quilts. One, a large quilt called "Don't Fence Me In", I pieced about 3 or 4 years ago and the other, made from a Jelly Roll and is a large lap size, I just pieced in November. They are both ready to quilt. I don't have backing for either one of them. I wanted to start quilting the large quilt tomorrow, so may have to go to Rolla to see if I can find any fabric for backing. If not, I will be in Springfield on Saturday.
Tomorrow is another day to quilt! (or at least doing some sewing on UFOs).
