Sewing up a UFO

I'm working on an old UFO today. This is from 2011 or so.  The fabric is "Charlevoix" from Moda designed by Minick and Simpson. 

There was enough fabric to make 20 blocks.

If I stitched scraps together like quilters of old did, I might be able to squeeze out one more block.


There's a few yards of the background fabric and plenty of backing. I also have a piece for binding. My problem is I want to make this quilt larger. A large border of the background fabric would be nice and maybe a sawtooth border of background and the orange/ rose fabric. 

I'm searching the internet and local quilt shops first to see if I can find any more fabric. 

Just another day in my sewing room.....

  1. Your sewing area is so neat looking. Mine is always piled with stacks of projects, pieces and parts here and there.

    1. My sewing time is sometimes very limited so I'm forced to keep everything very clean and organized so i can find and continue on my projects. Plus my sewing room is very visible.
      My old sewing room was private and in our lower level...that one was always trashed.
