So after
failing to finish my Halloween quilts on time I threw them on the
UFO pile which promptly toppled to the floor...
At the bottom I found this Figgy Pudding table runner I've been
promising to finish forever. With
41 days until Christmas, this may be the year:-)
These
holly garlands are one of the first FMQ designs I mastered... they're totally forgiving and easy to use to fill a narrow space. For the center boxes I modified
Oh, Fransson!'s
loopy flowers to look be pointy flowers so they look like Poinsettias. Of course after practicing endlessly I realized they really don't show all that much.
And when you pull something off the UFO pile you get to start something new so I've jumped on the
Modern Maples bandwagon. These go together really quickly so maybe I'll be able to finish them before Spring arrives;-)
Love that runner. Holly garlands were one of the first FMQ designs I learned too. Maybe it was from drawing them so much in school through the years, or maybe they're just forgiving.
ReplyDeleteAnd loving those modern maple blocks. That's going to be a great quilt!
I've joined the Modern Maples bandwagon too! And I think we both agree the AMH orange print is perfect. My problem is I've pulled way more pretty fall fabrics than I'll ever need to finish a quilt :D
ReplyDeleteI love the holly quilting!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your maples! Makes me want to start one!
ReplyDeleteLove the holly, that looks fantastic. And happy to incorporate the UFO rule, seems like a good one!
ReplyDeleteWow - that FMQ is impressive!
ReplyDeleteLove the maple leaves! And the holly quilting!
ReplyDeleteYour FMQ is incredible! Great job. I might have jumped on the modern maples bandwagon later than you because I'm still picking fabric!
ReplyDeleteI love your Modern Maples. I'm about to hop on the bandwagon too! I just need to get a few projects crossed of my list first lol
ReplyDeleteI like your thought on pulling from the WIP pile and then getting to try something new;) Gorgeous holly leaves!
