Ravelry Fall 2026 List of UFOs

I have been motivated to finish several projects this year with a UFO group on Ravelry.  Joy that blogs at The Joyful Quilter, updates the finish board beautifully.  You need to have five UFO projects have been started that need finished.  Below is my list for the fall session.  You can see Joy's post here.

You can find the group on Ravelry here.

1. Bitcoin (Bonnie Hunter pattern) Double Sized Quilt-- I have 1/3 of the columns sewn.  I will continue working on this project.  Fabric scraps are in a bag awaiting to be run through the Accuquilt strip die.

2. Rail Fence 3.5" blocks-- need 900 blocks for this quilt.  I was a little overwhelmed with the layout area I needed to make this quilt.  I decided to do four sections of 15 x 15 and then sew them together.  This is the first set.  All of the blocks are sewn. 

3. Piccadilly Circle -- Very stale project due to lack of interest. I started making this quilt in 2014 for the RSC.  In 2021 I made only three of the border pieces (yellow, light green, and dark green).  I made one yellow and one dark green Piccadilly Circle blocks in 2022.  I still need to make circle blocks in dark purple and lime green.  I also need the other border parts.

4.  Folk Art Birds -- very stale project due to lack of interest.  This was a 2016 RSC project start.

5.  Maroon Sampler -- Stale project due to lack of interest right now now. This quilt is a combination of different sampler quilts.  I want to say this was around 2013ish for some of the first blocks.  I need to count to see how many I have and go from there.

6.   Dicey--I made these blocks so that I could do a few things -- learn how to applique circles using my Applipops, use miscellaneous neutrals, use the Accuquilt chisel die that I seldom use.  Mission accomplished.  The next step is to iron out all of the Frixion pen applique placement marks, cut 1.5" sashing strips.  This will be a 6x8 layout.  I'm waiting for longarm season to be done due to cold weather in the room so that I can settle down to my winter piecing.

7.  Fireflys wall hanging -- I started this 9/22/25.  It is a simple applique project that will be in my sew-to-go kit for school.  Background fabrics have been selected and cut to size.  Other fabrics have been selected.  Stem pieces have been cut and sewn into long strips but not sewn onto the background yet.  Scrappy blues have been selected for the rail fence blocks but not cut yet.  HST's will be a constant gold that matches the flower center and flower bud.

Prepped these pieces for my sew-to-go bag. 

8.  HST Quilt, Three Six Nine RSC22 -- (needs more HST made and rows completed)  -- This project is a hot mess because I sewed some of the colors together as leader/enders and now I'mlosing interest due to the fact that some of the rows are together and I don't know where I am exactly on the pattern.  

9.  Fish -- only two blocks are sewn -- need 12 fish total

10.  Scarborough Fair -- more blocks need to be made.  Hope to continue as an RSC26 project.

11.  Random Blue Blocks -- in the hoop, but a long ways to go.  Three blocks quilted.  It's in a duffle bag ready to grab and go on a road trip if one happens.

12.  Acorn Harvest -- Stalled because I'm afraid to cut the pieces apart.  Embroidery is done.

Photo from the front of the package:

13.  Using my Accuquilt BOB schoolhouse die, I hope to work on pink schoolhouse blocks during the pink RSC month.  I need another girly quilt.  I made a blue one of these a while back.  It turned out cute.  I need 12 blocks for a 35" x 42" quilt.

14.  Lupine and Laughter -- blocks still need to be made.

15.  Christmas Memories

The plan is to make this in red/green, but the color arrangement will be reversed and the blocks will be much smaller.

some of the four patches are made:

16.  Dinner Party Crib Quilt in novelty school fabric-- big pieces are cut.

17.  Layer Cake Lattice in pink -- This is a new project.  I started it this week 4/4/26.  I wanted to use some pink scraps to play along with the Rainbow Scrap Challenge at SoScrappy.  Eight blocks are made.  This quilt will be as big as the white dot fabric runs out.

I purchased this pattern for the unlimited scrappy combinations and possibilities.  The blocks are supposed to be cut from 10" pieces.  My fabrics are just "chunks of stuff".  I altered the block size just a smidge to make it more Accuquilt friendly.  In the future I might cut some of my scraps into 10" pieces so that I can use the actual pattern measurements.  Once cut, the blocks go tother lickety split because there are no seams to match on the blocks!  Woohoo.  I'm not used to working with pieces this large.

18.  True Blue -- all base blocks are sewn together.  I need to add borders to this quilt next.

19.  Classic Meets Modern QA from 2014.  This quilt along was at https://www.sewathomemummy.com/

20, 21, & 22. Kathleen Tracy Sampler Block Minis (Table Toppers 1, 2, & 3)  The blocks are made.  I don't think I like them all in one little quilt.  These blocks will make three little table toppers.

23. Cheddar Jack -- cat blocks are sewn, some of the 2.5" scrappy squares are sewn together but not in rows.  I need more 2.5" scrappy blocks cut.

24.  Hamilton Gardens (Bonnie Hunter pattern) Every summer I buy a Bonnie Hunter pattern to add to my collection.  Squares are cut.  Some are sewn in twosies and threesies.  I'm planning a crib quilt at this time 40" wide by ?.  I need to figure out which background fabric I will be using.  Most likely it will be plain, scrappy whites or white on whites.

25.  Blue Baskets -- A Block Lotto win

When I was getting out my 3.5 rail fence blocks I realized that this set of 40 blocks won at The Block Lotto were in the same hat box.  I need to figure out a sashing for it and make it a quilt.  I was thinking one of my reds in the scrap bins would work for the sashing.  We shall see.

Here's my Fall 2026 Ravelry UFO Club Projects:

1.  Bit Con quilt -- Needs more rows of strips sewn together -- size yet to be determined

Applique

 I've been working here and there on sewing stems and leaves during my lunch period.

This is for a small, rail fence style quilt.  Eight of these blocks are needed.

I'm linking up with Kathy's Quilts for Slow Sunday Stitching here.

 

I just realized that I have not had much slow stitching time since mid July!!!  Colder months are coming.  On a good note, I have been very active working outside and had my kayak out a few times.  I lost about 15 pounds since that post... that is a good thing.  As cooler weather arrives, hopefully I'll have time for more slow stitching.

RSC26 Scrappy Rail Fence Continued

The third portion of the scrappy rail fence is complete.  

These blocks are 3.5" (3" finished).  I have all of the blocks made.  I am going for a 28 x 30 block layout.  I'm not in a hurry to finish it.

RSC26 Scrappy Rail Fence

 I'm back!  Whew...  It's been a busy three weeks in fourth grade as a substitute teacher.  She will return to work on Tuesday!  I'm back to being a free agent so that I can bounce from one school to another between different districts and different grade levels.  I'm anxious to see many of my little friends that I haven't seen since spring break due to the long term absence that I covered.  Can't wait!

No more lessons to plan for quite some time.  I WILL be prepping my sew-to-go bag this weekend!!!  I should be able to get some stitches in during my lunch and planning periods now.  Woohoo!!!

I had time to lay out the third section of my scrappy rail fence quilt.

These blocks are 3.5" (3" finished).  I have all of the blocks made.  I am going for a 28 x 30 block layout.

Oh, and just in case you are wondering.  The quilt on our California king bed (under the rail fence blocks) is called Go Four It (finished in 2021).  It is one of my all time favorite quilts.  You can read about it here.

RSC26 Rail Fence

 I think I have only sewn three rows together since I last posted about my rail fence project.  I only have Monday as ONE MORE DAY of summer vacation and then it's back to school as a substitute teacher.  It's already weird to say but my schedule is almost FULL of jobs from 8/18 until mid October!  Then I have other days already scheduled and even the last week of the year! That's crazy.

For some reason Blogger won't let me load photos today.  Ugh...

These blocks are 3.5" (3" finished).  I have all of the blocks made.  I am going for a 28 x 30 block layout.

Hot Mess Rail Fence RSC26

My sewing area is a hot mess!  I worked on rows of the rail fence blocks.  This group of rows is for the third section of the quilt.  Then there will be one more section to make the flimsy.  

These blocks are 3.5" (3" finished).  I have all of the blocks made.  I am going for a 28 x 30 block layout.

Shrub Moving Process

I'm still working on cleaning out my flowerbed by the pole barn.  Yesterday this messy end started like this...

You can barely see my variegated weigela behind the (cluster of red) Lucifer Crocosmia.  It was in the 80's yesterday and humid.  In the evening it really looked like rain.  This was my chance to move it without worrying about hauling water to water it in.  I can't wait to see pretty, pink blooms at the edge of the woods in the spring.  It will be nice to see when I round the corner of the field to mow.

I also moved the bush on the far left in the top photo.  I forget what it is called.  When I dug it out of the ground it split into two different pieces -- a nice sized one, and a small one with a big stump in the middle.

I planted it behind this barn stone for safety from the mower.  It doesn't seem to look very impressive here.  It too will bloom about the same time in the spring.  Then the little piece I planted way down the edge of the woods.

We had a ton of rain last night!  Mission accomplished.  

I also got to see what color the rose of Sharon is that I bought at a church yard sale about four years ago.  It was only two feet tall when I bought it.  Now it's taller than me.  I originally planted it in the flowerbed next to the chicken yard for safety so that I could water it until it got big enough to move.

Rail Fence Progress

 I'm working on a large quilt (28x30) block layout using 3.5" (3"finished) rail fence blocks.  I'm working on the third section.  Here's the layout:

Slow Sunday Stitching

 I only moved the hoop a little to work on this next part of the same block.  This project definitely qualifies for S L O W stitching.  I'm trying a longer needle.  I'm not sure if I like how thick it is.  I like the length.

Another slow project is planting seedlings.  I'm experimenting with planting them using egg shells as the container.  I got these on Amazon.  These are Scabiosa Pincushion Mix.

I'm happy to report I'm not sore today from falling when the pool ladder broke on Friday night.  Woohoo.  We also had a nice rain yesterday -- finally.  The smoke from the Canadian wildfires seems to have cleared up quite a bit in our part of Ohio.

Rail Fence 3.5" Blocks RSC26

I made it this far with my RSC rail fence blocks.  They are 3.5" unfinished.

I'm going for a 28 x 30 block layout.  That would fit our bed nicely.  I love the look of it so far.

Hoping for rain today.  If so, I'll lay out the next 15 x 15 section.  Otherwise I'll be working outside trying to make progress on pulling weeds from my BIG flowerbed.  Here's the before pic.  Look at all those overgrown weeds!

Progress... it's looking better:

Look at this before pic at this angle.  Yuck.

Looking better.  I only have about 1/8 of the bed left to weed.  Eventually I will remove four of the bushes too.  That may have to wait until fall.  This hot weather isn't the best time to move them.  When I look at the above pic and this next pic, it's hard to tell it's the same flower bed.

And the lamp shade you ask?  Someone was throwing that away.  I got two of them out of their trash.  They make great supports for peonies!  My peonies never bloom here.  The leaves turn brown later in the season.  I'm moving them.  Hopefully they will be closer to some ants to eat the wax so that they open. 

I pulled this branch of berries out of there.  The chickens are happy.  They have to stay in the fenced area for a few days.  We had a close call with a coyote on Thursday.  It was within 20 yards of my girls!  I purposely leave some weeds in this fenced-in area for the chickens.  They like to root and scratch around them.  

My other job this week will be to find a new pool ladder.  My son wanted to swim after 7pm yesterday.  We were having fun.  The water temp at that time was 85 degrees.

My husband and son got out of the pool and went into the garage.  When I got out of the pool, this:

When I fell I hit both knees.  I have had knee issues in the past.  I'm really sore this morning.  I'm so thankful that I didn't break anything or get hurt more.  But ladder shopping it is.  I yelled for help.  No answer... After a couple minutes of sitting there watching water gush out I accessed my body damage and got up and texted my husband this photo.  He was able to make the repair.  When.  It's still holding.
