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!
