UFO Day

I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. I enjoyed mine, but I know any thing that involves a lot of family can be tricky to navigate sometimes. I ate leftovers again today, and I still have more left! I left most of the leftover food with the kids, so I don’t have too many to eat myself. 

I did some online shopping on Friday and then designated the rest of the day “UFO Day”. I had found the quilt top I pieced on my last quilting cruise, and it was almost finished except for one of the pieced borders. 

When I went on the cruise, I hadn’t cut quite enough of the dry brush blue, but I had more in my stash, so I went ahead and got the top finished. It took a few hours to get it done, but here it is:

Now it’s in the “to be quilted” stack. It’s big enough to be a Day One Graduation Project quilt, so that’s probably where it will go. 

I also had a few more borders to finish on our 2026 church raffle quilt.

After:

I had debated about adding another pieced border, but I decided it didn’t really need it. It’s 96” x 96”, so plenty big enough. This one is also in the “to be quilted” stack. I already have the backing cut, so it will be ready to be quilted soon. 

Today is our fifth Sunday potluck at church. I got a spiral ham on sale at the store, and I also fixed a hashbrown casserole last night, so I’m all set.
