Design Wall Monday 4.6.2026

 I inherited an UFO from a friend of a friend who has passed away. I also volunteered to make a quilt that had blocks set vertically and last Saturday was also the online sewing day for my FB QOV Working Stars group. It just seemed like 'the perfect storm' so I pulled out 'the UFO bag' and took a look...


A pattern, flying geese, hst's and various yardage. I was able to make 10: 10 inch stars and cut a panel piece from the gold/navy stars. I did cobble one more star after I took this picture.


I auditioned a few different prints to piece with the stars and settled on a beige print with tan and green circles. The green is dark enough so as not to stand out.


I decided to add a little bit of borders to give more length and use the last of the maroon in the bag.


pattern: Banner Quilt. Direction in 'the UFO bag'
                I did a quick Google search and came up empty...

You've done an admirable job of making this quilt. I'm sure the receiving veteran will cherish it. Great job.
