UFOs AND OJOS

 
Since I only have 
5 more side blocks
to hand quilt on my 
Autumn Ojos---

I took out this Ojos which
is the next UFO in line
to be hand quilted:
↯↯↯↯
This is my 
"Summertime Ojos"
To be truthful, I had totally
forgotten it (gasp!!).
😨
It has been hanging in my spare room
closet just waiting and waiting....
So-----
This morning I set it up to be pinned
on my dining room table 

Here is the backing I have chosen to use--
Isn't it pretty?😍

I know that fabric was gifted to me from a fellow
blogger; but sadly, (ye old brain drain!!)
I cannot remember who that kind person was...
😭

At any rate--
I thank you πŸ‘„,as I really don't have
many BIG pieces that can be used 
whole for backings...
this is perfect because it is non-directional
and I love its hand-dyed look... 

****************************
So this Summer, I have been
hand quilting the Autumn piece above
and
This coming Winter I will be working
on this Summer piece.  

*******************************
I have decided that I will NOT make
any new pieces, but rather work on
the UFO's in my closet...

An especially good idea
as I can only really sit for
15 min at a go these days
and 
truthfully, it drives me up a wall
to have to leave things in the middle!!
πŸ‘ΏπŸ‘ΊπŸ‘Ή

There are only two really big
quilts hanging in my closet
 that I haven't donated: 

One is the Flying Geese
under the Moon; 
and the 2nd
is a huge log cabin in two 
big sections--just about King Size
(what was I thinking?).
All the other pieces are smaller in size...

I really want to keep the big Flying Geese
one, it just heeds binding--perhaps I
will be able to manage that as my
back heals more...

***************************
I hope you are all enjoying these last
precious Summery days left to us...
A bit on the coolish side here, but
such beautiful blue skies are a treat.
