UFO Converted Finale

The UFO Converted completed. The photo on the left is the front and right is the back.

Examples of the machine quilting as seen on the back is the ivy pattern that appears in the green border on the front and a tulip pattern that is stitched into the pink border on the front.

The label is a green leaf print envelope held together by velcro that reads, "Quilted with love by Lacosta L. 2011."

Bargello Update

I promise I have been working on it. I am right on track to have it finished by the time baby #2 gets here and that was the plan.

At the last class, we learned how to turn our strips into runs as well as how to nest 40 pieces with no pins at the machine. Holy heck, I wish I had learned THAT a long time ago. Maybe there wouldn't be a lone star UFO in my closet?!

I got the first 6 runs done after I got home from the class and this is what they look like. I can see it all coming together and I am getting excited!

Today, I spent some time working on it. I got another 12 runs cut, ripped and reset. Now I am ready to iron, sew those runs back together and start joining them to one another. When I finish these 12 runs and join them to the 6 I have already done, half of my top will be done!!!!
