UFOs - Let's Begin the Count

As I fill up my new sewing room, I'm cleaning out closets and drawers from other rooms.  Here are the UFOs I've found so far.



Starry Eyed:  A Moda Bakeshop pattern by Angela Mitchell.  I made this is 2011.  I love it, so why isn't it finished?  It needs a backing and to be quilted.  Basting the layers scares me.  I guess I better get over that or I'll never finish anything!  I hope to have this one on a bed this Christmas!


Dear Santa, I've Been Good - Lap quilt made from panel and yardage left over from Starry Eyed.  I made this in 2012.  I need to finish the borders, make a backing and quilt it.  This was the first time I did a mitred border.  I need to fix the border for the right side.



Poppy One Block Wonder - I think I made this in 2009.  I rushed to put on the borders and clearly the side borders are waving.  I need to remove them and start over.  I love making OBW's.  Each new hexagon is like opening a present.  Such a nice surprise to see what you get.  The outside border fabric is what I used to make the hexagons.  It's hanging (unfinished) in our dining room.  It looks great but would look even better finished.  I have more fabric for the borders and the backing.



Lilac One Block Wonder - I think I started this right after I made the Poppy OBW.  I gave the blocks to my SIL and she determined the placement.  I think I may have more of this fabric in one of our closets.  If I don't find any, I'll have to buy something for the backing.  


Not Gobble Gobble - This quilt needs a new name.  I think I made it in 2010.  I used the left over fabric from a raggy quilt I made.  The free pattern is from Natalia Bonner at Piece N Quilt.  I need to slice the quilt, and insert the applique section.  I think that's where I stopped because I have to decide what I'm going to applique.  Flowers of some sort.


Santa is Coming Wall Hanging.  I think I made this in 2009 also.  I'm surprised with how far along this is!  The wall hanging is actually finished.  The buttons are all sewn on.  I need to find the ornaments.  I wonder what I've left to do with them.  (This was a panel I bought.)
