As you already may have noticed (if you read my previous post), my UFOs/WIPs list is long as a freight train! How did that happen, btw??
The RSC color for April 2023 was purple. I pulled out all purple yardage, about 12-13 yards. After making the monthly blocks, I decided to make a purple & white/cream quilt. By March 2024, all the blocks for the quilt were done + I made a smaller quilt using up more purple yardage. You can see part of the quilts here. I did quilt and finished the biggest purple quilt (yet to take photos), but not the small one.
It was thread basted and it has been sitting on my sewing table since last year! I know why; I got tired of detail quilting all the HST in different colors.
Yesterday I counted 1-2-3!!! Here we go, lets quilt it! lol
I did part of the free motion quilting (the centre) last night, the remaining this morning.

I have started quilting the HST, which takes time. My goal is to get it done by January 15.
This is UFO #22-2 'No Name Purple'.

Yay for you for tackling your UFO's! Lucky for me I'm not a quilter per se and doing landscapes means I stick to finishing one before I start another. It's a win/win because I only have a small space to work in. If I were a 'sane' quilter all bets would be off though!
You are very focused! I'm here cheering you on!!
Such a very pretty quilt--love the purples with the white--good for you tackling this quilting...Great to see you were able to choose a UFO to work on;)))
I have Strawberries all layered up and pinned for hand quilting--
I hope to do this by hand if I take it slowly...mostly outlining strawberries and along the seam lines..."Quilting-Ho--forward we go"...;)))
hugs, Julierose
Yes, yes, you can do this! I did the same with a quilt some years ago now. Each square were a different colour but my squares were bigger than your HSTs. I wish there was an emoji for cheerleader because I am cheering you on. Go, girl! You got this! ;^)
