For the month of September the UFO Challenge quilt was #11. mine was a blue and yellow Take 5 pattern that was pieced by the church ladies.
This was some fabric that i donated to the church some time ago. in fact, i had cut all the pieces out with my AccuQuilt machine and gave them the directions and a picture of how to put it together.
They brought it back several months ago....without the borders. no one knew how to put on the borders. their usual style is to embroider blocks and give them to me to assemble and quilt for them.
This was quilted with a floral template from Quiltazoid...quick and easy. but it lived on the frame for 3 or 4 weeks. i started it before my surgery and just now got back to finishing it up.
Usually we just put muslin on the backs of their quilts but this time i wanted to change it up. i had some fabric that had yellow and blue in it and i had enough to piece a back. so the back on this one is...
Chickens...or are those roosters. whatever. LOL
The lady that picked it up liked it and said she wanted to hang it in her kitchen. LOL this is queen size so she better have a large kitchen.
I'm trying to push them out of their embroidered blocks trench but don't know if it will work or not.
But anyway....it got 9 yards of chicken fabric out of my stash and got my September UFO Challenge quilt done....and i am happy with that.

Not just a rut, but a trench, eh? lol Love it!
That is a gorgeous quilt. Love the quilting motif, and the backing is just perfect. Congrats on your finish! :o)
Very pretty. If you got them to put this quilt together, maybe their trench is getting a bit shallower? Keep at it because I'll bet there are some gals willing to change it up.
Congrats on both accounts...finishing a UFO and clearing out the stash!
Lovely quilting pattern, and perfect backing (how nice that all 9 yds came from your stash!) Congrats on your finish!
What a great Church group to piece it for you...like the backing too.
