UFO Challenge

January’s “UFO” was a pack of charm squares.  I paired them with a lovely tan and made what I call Stretched 4-Patches.  The backing is a solid brown, just wide enough for quilting without piecing a backing.  I quilted a wiggly line diagonally across each rectangle.  Hurray for a baby quilt finish!


Judy announced that #1 is our project for February.  For me, that’s a red and white Ohio Star quilt.  I cut the squares and strips in November and September, cut the triangles for the star point last week, and I'm madly sewing the hourglass blocks this week.  Here's hoping I can finish it this month!
