June UFO Challenge is finished

JudyL picked #8 for June's UFO Challenge. i was worried....it was a quilt that was in pieces in a bag. i had pieced the 4 patches but that is all. there was much to do. i considered switching it for another one ..... but, NO....that would just put off the problem. so i dug in and pieced and pieced some more. and quilted. and here is the result.

It's a 4 patch posey with black and pinks. i don't like it as much as i did when i started it. i guess that is why they wind up being UFOs. LOL

But i stuck with it and got it finished.

I think it looks better in person than in the photos. i couldn't seem to get a really good picture.

But done is good. the back is pieced with some pink, red and black that i had. quilted with the Baptist Fan templates from Quiltazoid. and i got to use up some pink thread...lighter pink on the top and brighter pink on the bottom. what was i thinking..buying pink thread.

I have no idea what that yellow dot is. i used the flash on my camera....so i think it has something to do with that. maybe its gremlins....who knows.  and, no, it is not a yellow flower head pin. LOL

I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with the challenge and getting things done. half the year is over....so it is all downhill from here. most of the rest of my UFOs are already pieced....so it will just be a matter of quilting them. i hope Judy does this again next year.....i have boxes more of UFOs to do...but they are very first stage...pieces just cut.....or maybe just fabric and pattern in a box. much more work to do.

So, i am ready for July. it will be a tough month, too. i will be out of town about a week....and then there is the dreaded mowing and yard work. but, somehow, it all gets done.

Are you in the UFO challenge......is your June project finished?   if not.....you better give up sleeping and get with it.
