Now that 'Swirling Stars' (RSC UFO #11) is near completion (waiting for ordered thread), I continue working on my UFOs and WIPs.
I accomplished a lot in January, thanks to all the rainy days. What's better stay inside and sew?!
Some days ago, one particular blogpost comment caught my eyes: Viola at Barwitzki Family challenged me to work on 'Coffee With Dad' - RSC UFO #26, her birthday!
Challenge accepted! Thank you, Viola!
Some coffee cup blocks have been trimmed today and laid out on the sewing table.
The original size is 72 inches / 183 cm. I've decided to make it smaller; lap quilt size, about 60 inches wide, I think...
I got carried away making these cute coffee cups blocks, which of course, resulted in way too many! It may be two quilts!
LOOK AT THIS!!!! LOL
I'm quite sure I was tired when I made this one! I did not even notice the handle was sewn on the wrong way when I took the photos for the blogpost last September! Such a stupid mistake!
I'll redo it, it's an easy fix.

I love the print on the "broken" handle cup. You are doing great with your UFO list. You rock it. ;^)
LOL at the cup handle - I didn't notice it until you mentioned it then of course saw it
I always enjoyed seeing your progress on Coffe with Dad. The backwards cup handle is totally something I would do. Kuddos to you for moving through the UFO / WiP list.
Dear Astrid, I love your creative talent! I am so happy to see your posts. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you, Linda!
Thank you, Chantal! I love that print too.
I love watching you work through your UFOs! I love Coffee with Dad! The cup handle makes it more interesting!
I remember when you were making these. They are a fun design. Two quilts sounds good.
What a fun project. I'd love to have you join the weekly Sew & Tell party at Melva Loves Scraps ;)
Hello, Astrid.
A beautiful, wonderful piece of work...
talent and skill are what I see.
See you soon.
Dear Astrid, the mugs are fantastic.
I love them, and maybe I'll sew some myself sometime... you know, I love drinking coffee so much...
I'd also like to make that upside-down mug again :-))) Oh dear, I've already taken so many things apart :-)))
Best wishes and have a happy weekend!
Glad to see a return of 'Coffee with Dad' - too funny when you pointed out the 'broken' cup. If it were me, I'd be seriously tempted to leave it the way it is, if only to create a conversation.
The coffee cup blocks look so fun together.
I love your coffee cups! They are so fun! I even love the broken handle as it is. 😉😄 I may need to make some cups too.
Your Coffee with Dad blocks have always been some of my favorites, too! I hope you'll fix that broken handle so no one drops their coffee! 😊
I do like your coffee cups, such a fun block.
The paisley fabric on the broken handle cup is pretty! That is a very fun little quirk to have worked into the quilt. I love it. I have only seen your brown mugs before and didn’t realize the project was so colorful overall. It’s really cute!
