NewFOs and UFOs

NewFO

For my New Fabric Object Project for February I made some 12 inch Rosebud blocks. The backgrounds are all fabrics with roses and the "rosebuds" are all going to be made in solids - the colors of roses. 

I have a box of rose themed fabrics and back in 2009 I printed off the Rosebud pattern from Quilter's Cache and threw it in the box to remind me of a possibility for the fabrics.  I guess the time is right. I love roses and am longing for some warm weather and roses blooming in the garden. Playing in rose themed fabrics might just be the next best thing. 

For NewFO ideas and inspiration visit the NewFO Challenge Linky Party at Cat Patches. 

PROGRESS ON A NewFO

I've finished four block modules for the MOD MOD QAL going on at Block Lotto and hosted by the oh-so-creative Sophie. 

The block modules are 21 inches square. 

I'm making the individual blocks that make up the modules in complementary colors. 

And I'm using up lots of scraps.

March Goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes 2014

Last August I made some giant 24 inch crumb stars and then turned them into a 60x80 quilt top. 

My March goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes is to baste, quilt and bind my crumb stars and get it donated to Quilts of Valor.  I have a fun backing fabric for it all picked out. 

What the Heck is a NewFO ?

This is a NewFO .  These are some of the Dots and Dashes ShooFly 6 inch blocks I'm supposed to be making for a swap with the members of the Block Swappers Yahoo Group.  I think I like them too much so will keep them myself. and make up a bunch of different ones (all the same in a set)  for the swap which is not due until March.  

I blogged about this swap and several others with Block Swappers a few days ago. 

This NewFO is called Jack's Chain.  I actually started this one and one that will be a little different.  I think this one will be a wedding quilt for one of the grandkids. No rush...they are all under the age of 10. I also swap 3 inch 9 patches with Block Swappers Yahoo Group so there should be no duplicates in this quilt. 

This January NewFO is part of a Tea Towel Challenge. I blogged about that too if you are curious. 

And this NewFO is part of a Quilt Along.  I will be using up scraps and making blocks in complementary colors. 

This NewFO - an 18 inch Wonky Log Cabin block also uses scraps and is one of the ways I used my blue scraps in January for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.  This month's color is pink. I'm not sure I will have enough pink for a log cabin but we shall see. 

So, if by now you don't know what a NewFO happens to be you better go read up on the subject. My NewFOs are UFOs in the making.  My list will never get shorter at this rate.

And there is a linky party too.  I'm going to go party.
