This month, my UFO assignment was #11. I finished that back in March, when I stitched through all four sides of white filler in one month rather than two. I'm rather inclined to push along this quilt before my mojo leaves me or the heat smothers me!
I opted for #10, which is outlining and filling in all the chains on the quilt. I outlined first, then filled in little "shell" shapes. I'm glad I chose this now, as I had large potions of the quilt in my lap, and soon (like today), it's too warm to have a whole queen quilt in my lap!
Since this step went quickly and I had a week left, I decided to add on one more quilt block. I opted for block 8, which is one of the two blocks in the middle of the quilt. With this beauty complete, all of my work is now on the outside of the quilt, so I won't be so worried about getting too hot. I outlined one more, so I'm moving along nicely.
I only have four months (maybe less?) of steps left, so at the latest, I hope to finish the quilt by the end of September. Woohoo!
