a UFO (unfinished object) from a no-mail round robin. The directions were given in 6 installations, the first being a 6" square of fabric. Each succeeding installation gave instructions for the next round or border. This was a lesson in color as we were to select colors that would go with those in our center. I was using fabric from what I had on hand (stash) rather than purchasing the yardage I'd need for the whole quilt so I found that I had to use different yellows, different greens and 2 different florals plus an additional floral for the backing and binding. I think that the color variations add interest to this quilt. Oh, this is the first quilt that I've made that has lots of yellow in it. That was also a new venture into color for me.
This was a UFO because I put off quilting it. I didn't want to mess it up! I did some straight row quilting but lots of free motion quilting in this quilt. On this page there is a close-up photo to show the quilting. Now that I've finished this quilt (approx. 46 x 58") I hope to complete several more UFO's.
