One of my goals this month is to look at my UFOs and decide what to do about them. Most are unquilted tops. One of the tops is a small Feathered Star.
I originally made it several years ago as a test to see if I wanted to make a queen size feathered star medallion quilt. The answer was No.
This little top measures 45" square and could be a baby quilt for a little girl. PCQ now is able to donate baby quilts to expectant families at Luke AFB which is nearby. This could be a nice donation quilt.
PCQ recently put out a call for small charity quilts to use for long arm training and certification. Perfect! They can practice on this top, bind it, and donate it the next time they take baby quilts to Luke.
I prepped backing, binding, and frankenbatting, bundled it up, and turned it in. At the recent Long Arm Users Group meeting, a friend selected it from the cabinet to quilt. She wants to learn free motion as opposed to using a panto. Perfect!
One UFO dealt with, one practice quilt available for learning, and a baby quilt to be donated. Win-Win-Win!

It's wonderful. I made one that was a paper pieced kit, thankfully it was small and not difficult, but more than that I agree.

I love feathered stars. It would be lovely with custom quilting but also great for learning and gifting.
ReplyDeleteThat is a big win for everyone, especially a new baby!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a perfect solution for this quilt top. And hooray for it being selected to be quilted so quickly!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to get a UFO off your list.
