So, what makes a UFO anyway?!
I know some people who won't start a new project until they have finished the one that they are currently working on. (there aren't many but I DO actually know a few!). I know a few people who only work on a handful projects and finish one or more before starting another. And then there are the rest of us,who start all kinds of projects; finish some, work on a bunch at the same time, put some on hold (for an undetermined amount of time) and go onto the next and even abandon some altogether. So what constitutes a UFO?
Well I guess that answer is a little different for every body...For me it usually means I have gone beyond the fabric collecting stage and started to cut and sew. But what about orphan blocks?! This little quilt was started with a bunch of orphan blocks that had been sitting in a basket for Quite sometime but they were not blocks of my making. Once I adopted them did they become MY UFO?! Oh well, The satisfaction I had in finishing this little quilt was at least as great as if they were some long lost blocks of mine. It is a humble little quilt made for charity and I am happy to have rescued those blocks from oblivion!

Yahoo! And congrats to you for a job well done. It's very cute! And, I will say, done is good. For a moment there, I thought I might be seeing some friendship star blocks. I still have mine and they are in a quilt yet.
ReplyDeleteI know which kind of quilter I am....lots of projects undone and still more getting started all the time! Love the star blocks. I don't recognize them... so atleast I don't think they are my orphan blocks!! And most of us have the friendship blocks waiting to be put together!
ReplyDeleteI qualify everything I haven't worked on for hmm a week or so as UFO ... because by then it will have slipped my mind and I stop thinking about placements and best ways to chain piece and start having to look at the pattern again or have to figure out what I wanted to do ...
ReplyDeleteSo sometimes that's then just a test block + lot's of cuttings (I started to put those things in bags so they will stay together) ... sometimes it's hmmm an almost finished quilttop ...
Some blocks (from swaps) I just don't like enough to make something with (I hope admitting that isn't a "no go" in the quilt world) ....
