I finished the top. In the morning I think I’ll quilt it.

August’s UFO
Judy, over at Patchwork Times has picked the UFO # for August. It is # 7.
#7 on my “complete the top” list is a peach and green Chain of Stars — the same pattern as July’s UFO finish.
After I wrote the pattern I asked my mom to test it for me. This is as far as she got. My intention is to finish it and then give it to the next great grandbaby – if it’s appropriate.
On the ‘to-be-quilted’ list is Red, White & Blue Baby 2. It’s not listed as #1 on my list, but I finished #7 off this list back in March.
Stay tuned to see which one — if either I work on this month. In the meantime I’m off to finish sandwiching the Crossword Puzzle quilt, but you can check out what others finished off their UFO list over at Judy’s.

The quilts I just finished still need to be washed and have their “portrait” taken. I’ll do that over the next few days. I still have one more quilt to quilt, bind and label by Sunday. In the meantime I’m off to the grocery store. The pantry is getting bare.
