Progress on UFO's

The wonderful (nasty) weather continues (too hot - too humid!), so there's not much that can be done outside. The garden needs attention, but these days are too wet to venture out there. What is better than get some progress on my UFO's?! :)
 
I finally put together all the HST (half square triangles) that I started back in January last year!  It stopped there, because I ran out of fabric. Fortunate I was able to get more, but did I continue? NO! Over the weekend I worked on this quilt and now it is thread basted and ready to be quilted. Do I have matching thread? Of course not! LOL The thread is on the way from the US, so perhaps I won't be able to finish it this month, since the shipping takes about 3 weeks.  
 
 
This week - so far - I have sandwiched, pinned and thread basted the Colorado Star quilt. It is ready to be quilted too. For this one I do not need to wait for thread! :)
 
 
I have the backing and batting ready for the NY Beauty quilt too, perhaps I start pinning it today... I shall see...
 
Looking back on what I did one year ago, I had almost forgotten about the blue quilt I want to make! I have to check out my blue stash, I doubt I have enough blue...
 
Working on UFO's, I tend to get a bit bored.... I couldn't help it - before I knew I have started a new project - but that will be another post - soon! :)

They are looking good. It is a shame that you have to wait so long for supplies.

Great work on the HST-quilt. Enjoy quilting the Colorado Start quilt (and maybe the NYB quilt :) )

Å så mye du har fått gjort.
Din blå quilt ser helt fantastisk ut, og de andre er ikke dårligere de heller... :-)
Din dag må da ha mere enn 24 timer?
Klem fra Ingrid
PS: Vi har frost, og det frister ikke til jobb i hagen her heller...

YOu are making great progress. Yes, I would get bored with what I was working on and start a new project. That is why I have so many UFOs.
