The Unfinished Projects Box

I was brave the other day and opened the Unfinished Projects Box. Well, let's be honest I open it a lot to put finished sale items in it, but not to get out a UFP and finish it. But I was brave and decided to go for it. And I did it! I pulled out this quilt, for some odd reason dubbed the Sno Cone Quilt. It's taken me over a year to get this thing done.  It also happened to be the largest item in the UFP Box. A long time ago I cut out the squares. Awhile later I sewed them together. Quite awhile after that I cut the batting and sewed the back. Then eventually I tied it. Finally, last night and this morning, I sewed the binding. And it's beautiful:) It's a full size quilt with double batting, so it's kind of thick and heavy. I'm so happy to finally have this quilt completed. Hopefully I'll sell it via Etsy or at the Market (if I get a booth).

I also tackled some of the scrap pile. I occassionally go through it and cut out blocks, triangles, strips, etc. for quilts and whatnot. So I have this pile of quilt pieces with the good intentions of making a bunch of quilts one day. Well, I got out some of the big blocks and made a quilt front Monday night. I thinks it's quite fun. A lot of these fabrics came from other projects that I made. Of course there's orange and purple blocks from the Sno Cone Quilt. In the center is a block of denim from my jeans. Harlequin diamonds from a jacket I made ages ago. Some lavalava fabric, some high school musical fabric. And, most memorable of all, some pink fabric left over from a dress I made for a guy named Adam. Yes a dress for a guy named Adam. Good times at the Opera.

Problem is, I'm still undecided the color for the back and if I should do binding or not. Should I tie it or quilt it? Maybe this is why the Sno Cone Quilt took so long.
