One from the UFO Pile
Tuesday, August 26, 2014
A few summers ago, my daughter saw a pack of charm squares she really liked at JoAnn. She said she was interested in learning to sew. The fabric was on clearance, so I said we could get it and make a doll quilt.
What I thought would be an easy project turned into a struggle. The only thing she did besides choosing the fabric is push down the foot pedal on the sewing machine for a few of the seams. I finished the top, folded it up with the backing she'd chosen, and put it in a box.
In my ongoing effort to finish partially done projects, I pulled this out and quilted it with a simple grid while dinner cooked last night. I finished it this morning with cheater binding--you know, fold the back onto the front and make a faux binding. My daughter has no recollection of this project even though it's only been two years. Oh well. It's done and out of my UFO pile.
