Our charity coordinator, Mary, collects unfinished quilt projects. It could be just a top, or there might be batting, backing or even prepared binding all ready to move this UFO toward completion.

At the last meeting I chose this sweet crib-size quilt top done with a variety of cheerful flannel print squares. Batting and backing were included.
I planned to machine quilt it for a quick finish in an overall design but as I considered how I'd meander, free motion, I had second thoughts. It seemed like a hard/stiff choice for such a soft thing. And I wondered if the flannel, being more loosely woven, would bunch up.
I pin-basted it and let it sit. At last, inspiration struck as it often does if I give it time. I remembered a little flannel quilt I'd made some time ago - sample squares of flannel sent out by a local quilt shop a long time ago!

Consider swapping UFO's with your quilting buddies. It's a great opportunity for creative thinking! And don't forget about Big Stitch....it's more appropriate for some projects and much quicker.
'til next time . . ...
