Another UFO Bites the Dust

I finished the backing for the Freshcut Quilt which gives me one finish for the Joy In The New Year Challenge. Unfortunately as I only just finished it, and its after midnight I don't quite have a picture of it yet.. This one is getting sent off to be quilted by one of my mums fabulous friends, but I wanted to use up some of the leftover fabrics so I made a really simple pieced back. I'll try to take photo's later!

Now on to the next one! I received all my blocks from the nine patch swap today and decided my plan of attack was to cut them all up! (Oops! sorry ladies!) I want to make applique borders for it so by cutting them into disappearing nine patches it has made the quilt quite smaller and appear a lot scrappier. But as usual now I want to make some extra blocks to make it a little bigger! Here is a very blurry photo of it taken when I was at my sewing buddies house working on it tonight.

The plan for this one is to just get all the center of the quilt finished. I would like to on put an applique border in the style of Susan McCord around it, so it is going to take a while to finish!

Design Wall Fail

Again. I think I need to invest in more and better masking tape...

In other news, I have signed up for Jacquie's Joy in the New Year 'finish it' spree. I can think of four off the top of my head that I want to finish, but I'm aiming for 6. First up will be the back for a quilt top I finished (finally!) over the weekend. More photo's to come when it isn't night time!

9 Patch Finished!

All my nine patch are completed for Christine's Swap. Now on to the next ufo!

I have a problem

This is just the stuff sitting aside from the rest of it, ready to be cut and made into 4 different projects. I just need to cut it! The stack is approx 17 inches high. Eeik!

Setback

Well, I have worked out how many blocks I need to make it as large as I like, have the majority of them made, and a good proportion of the blocks up on my design wall. Then disaster struck. Today during the horribly dust storm, the design wall came down!

So this is what it was looking like, just to give you a teaser, as it wont look like this again for a while...
