Finally another Finish!

Finally I have a finish to add to the tally of the Winter 2012 - UFO Group!
It’s my Mini Springy Batik.

In the end I used it to practice free motion quilting and serged the edges instead of binding it (as it’s not much bigger than a FQ). I may bind it down the road, but for now my little human is plenty fine with it not being bound ;) I enjoyed doing the FM quilting but can’t imagine doing it on anything much larger with my current set up :(

In action already! :)

As you can see it’s not much bigger top to bottom than my ironing board.

Now to decide how to quilt Baby Lola's stack & whack quilt. Seeing as going the FM quilting route isn't going to be very straight forward at this point, due to my current sewing set up :(

Winter 2012 - UFO Group

Well it looks as though my list hasn't changed much for this round. (I'll be referring back to my summer 2011 - UFO group list for pictures and details on what needs to be fone for each ufo.) I wanted to add 4 more project that I recently bought fabric & patterns for... But alas with the husby home, holidays, company, the flu doing its rounds & so on and so forth, I just wasn't able to get a start on any of them. I will add the flaming strips to my list.... (Hopefully I'll think up a better name for it ;)& the charmed lap blanket. I'm making this post from my phone & unfortunately I'm not able to load a pic off of my phone into the post. I will come back tag and add the pics when I have access to my pc. Happy quilting! :)
