Another UFO is bound. Whoopee! I started this quilt with Bonnie K. Hunter on her website, Quiltville,com, in December 2007 If I remember correctly, it was Bonnie's first mystery quilt. It has been quilted for a couple of years. Since I have been on this binding binge I have completed five bindings in the last few weeks. Three of these quilts have been UFOs. I have five more large UFO quilts to be bound. Now if I could have all the tops that need quilted (then bound) completed, I would be almost caught up! HA-HA!
When Bonnie started this mystery quilt, I was working. I remember that I managed to keep up with her instructions as they were printed in her website. This was my turquoise/purple period. I am not completely out of that period, but I remember two or three quilts around 2007/2009 that have this same color scheme. It remains one of my favorite color schemes. I have a kaleidoscope UFO in this turquoise/purple color scheme. When I finish all these quilted quilts that need bindings, I want to start on my UFOs that are in bins/boxes again. The kaleidoscope quilt is one I want completed. Every time I look at the bin with those blocks and strips yet to be sewn, it makes me want to pull it out and sew, sew, sew!
With this said, I hope that each of you is working on finishing those UFOs. If you are one of the fortunate folks who do not have any UFOs, then start one!
Happy Quilting

Oh my that is lovely. I've done one mystery quilt and that was enough for me - the instructions didn't explain well enough the variety needed in the different colors and it came out so bland. I didn't care for it - put it up for sale on craigslist and sold it for 75.00 and someone was very happy - plus me.
I just got two quilts back from the long arm quilter, but they are not quilted. They are two that I want to hand quilt but I can't bend over the table or crawl around on the floor any more because of my back surgery - so I had them machine basted. One is a queen size Dresden Plate and the other is log cabin (set so that it looks like watermelons, reds, greens and white). I am hoping to hand quilt them over the winter. Then I'll have something to bind.
what a cool design.
That's a great quilt. Congratulations on a very nice finish
Pam - why ever did this beauty land in your UFO pile - it truly is a STUNNER!!! My goodness, I LOVE it!!!
