Spring 2026 Ravelry UFO Club -- The List

Last quarter was pretty productive with 13 finishes.  A few new things were added to the list so that I can have a productive quarter of finishing UFOs.  Some of these projects have been on the list for a bit.  I honestly say that I have been motivated to finish project with a UFO group on Ravelry.  Joy that blogs at The Joyful Quilter, updates the finish board beautifully.  You can still join in on the group fun at https://www.ravelry.com/discuss/quilters-knitting/4400962/1-25#1 Hurry, it closes 4/7.  You need to have five UFO projects have been started that need finished.

1. Bitcoin Double Sized Quilt-- have cut strips in multi-colored fabrics (fabrics that are more than one color and don't fit into a specific color family bin for sorting purposes.) I have several strips sewn together in anothe strip bin.

2. Rail Fence 3.5" blocks-- need 900 blocks for this quilt.  I have to count them and clip sets together.  

 

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.  Kite Girl--The flimsy for this quilt is complete with green background.  Back is made.  It needs quilted.  I don't have a picture of the flimsy for some reason... The inspiration for this quilt appeared at Q is for Quilter. I believe I started this project for the RSC in 2014.

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

6.  Hourglass Mini -- I have all the cut off left over pieces sewn into hour glass blocks:

7.  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.

8.   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.

9.  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. 

10.  The red basket blocks were made into this 42" x 59.5" flimsy.  It is next to get quilted.

11.  The disappearing 9-patch blocks were put into this 42" square AND quilted! 

12.  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.  

13.  The house and other misc. red blocks were put into this 43.5" square AND quilted:

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

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

16.  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.

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

Photo from the front of the package:

18.  Horsen Around flimsy is complete.  It measures about 45" x 56".  Needs a back and quilted.

19.  Horsen Around scraps from Linda -- some snowball blocks have been made.

 

I have this little pile of scraps from Linda to work with:

20.  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.

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

22.  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:

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

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.

25.  True Blue -- all base blocks are sewn.  I'm adding the strip-pieced corners to them.

26.  Zip It -- I started this quilt this year in a facebook group.  Emma Jean Jenson designed the pattern and started the sew along.  It is quilted.  It is my current "in the back seat of the truck" project.  I am hand stitching the binding while waiting on something...

  

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

28.  King Rosebud was embroidered by my grandma around 1973ish.  It is in the hand-stitched binding stage.  It gets moved from living room chair to living room chair.  I stitch on it on Wednesday nights while watching Survivor and once in a while if I am watching a movie.  Here it is in a clump.

29, 30, & 31. 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.

32. 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.

Here's my Spring 2026 Ravelry UFO Club Projects:

RSC26 -- Red Progress

 Before moving on to pink this month, I worked on putting together RED blocks for March to get them closer to a finish.  I had a productive spring break week.  

The red basket blocks were made into this 42" x 59.5" flimsy.  It is next to get quilted.

The disappearing 9-patch blocks were put into this 42" square AND quilted!

The house and other misc. red blocks were put into this 43.5" square AND quilted:

I put a red dot binding on the two quilted quilts.  They will be in my sew-to-go bag in the next couple of weeks.  I'm linking up at Angela's blog, SoScrappy, for the RSC26.

Horsen Around Crib Flimsy

I finished putting together this crib quilt yesterday evening.  It measures about 45" x 56".  I actually followed the pattern for once.  I'm not used to working with coordinating quality fabrics.  What fun.

The quilt pattern is called Dinner Party.  You can see it here  at the Fat Quarter Shop.  In July of 2022, Linda--who blogs at Art in Search asked me if I wanted the scraps left over from her Purple, Black & Horses quilt.  During the last three years I have been patiently waiting for the right pattern to come along to show off some of the horse prints she sent to me.  Some of the fabrics had "Horsen Around" on the salvage.  I hope to have this finished by the end of this quarter.  It will be a nice summer "girly" quilt.

Horsen Around Dinner Party Crib Quilt Progress

 It's cold and rainy outside today.  I think I'll focus on putting this crib quilt together.

Red Basket Blocks

I decided set my red basket blocks on point and make them a 6-block quilt.  It measures 42" x 59.5".

These blocks were made before I was an Accuquilt girl.  In fact, because I won an Accuquilt Baby Go! and I was making this quilt is the reason that I became an Accuquilt girl.  I quickly realized the importance of the 1/4" seam around that time as well.  Those two reasons are why this project came to an abrupt halt.

I'm sooooo glad I kept all the WOW background fabric with the blocks.  It's one of my favorite white-on-white prints from Keepsake Calico.  Oh how I do miss going into Joanne Fabrics every once in a while.

Thankfully Kim Jolly has an On Point Setting Cheat Sheet at the Fat Quarter Shop (currently free PDF download when I wrote this post).  I'm not really an on-point kind of quilter most days unless the pattern is seriously spelled out for me like a Bonnie Hunter quilt.  I just don't like cutting big blocks into diagonal pieces.  But I did it!  Woohoo!  Add a new skill to my "okay" list.

This is my last set of red blocks that I have to make into a project.  I feel that I accomplished my goal.  Now off to the longarm room.  It's a nice 70 degrees outside today.  I didn't miss a beat during the winter quilting months this year because my husband was working on a project in the other house and had to keep it at a warmer temp.  Next year (hopefully) I'll be in the NEW quilting room that can easily be heated by throwing a few logs in the wood burner.  Actually, it got a little hot up in that room!  Woohoo.  Right now my husband is working in the attached FULL bathroom next to the sewing room.  I'll eventually get pics.  Stay tuned.

TWO New Crib Quilts

With the 13 finishes I had the first quarter, it's time to start a couple of new projects that have been on my list in my brain.  The quilt pattern is called Dinner Party.  You can see it here  at the Fat Quarter Shop.

This will definitely be a non-directional quilt.  I thought I had all the horses going the way I wanted until I realized that I did not have the blocks turned correctly on one of the prints which will be four of the twelve blocks.  I had enough of the purple paisley in my scraps to use as the background fabric.  I think it's perfect for it.  Thank you, Linda, for the beautiful, quality scraps.  They are so much fun to fluff through.

Linda also sent me her bonus triangles and little scraps.  There will be another quilt of some sort made with these fabrics.  I had to wait to find this pattern so that I could showcase the bigger prints.

In July of 2022, Linda--who blogs at Art in Search asked me if I wanted the scraps left over from her Purple, Black & Horses quilt.  During the last three years I have been patiently waiting for the right pattern to come along to show off some of the horse prints she sent to me.  Finally!

This week I used a school themed novelty print for the back of a red/white/blue quilt with a house in the center.  You can see it on my blog post here.  I had the school themed print for a while.  Someone gave it to me.  I really couldn't find a good place to use it and figured it would land on the back of a quilt that I would give to someone at school.  After I trimmed the quilt I thought WOW! this might be the right print to use on the Dinner Party pattern.

You can see a pic of the quilt pattern with these fabrics in the pic.  I'm not sure what background it will have yet.  I might try to mix it up a bit, but I'm not sure how I'll do it just yet.  This novelty print came from VIP Fabrics.  Remember that chain in the late 80's or early 90's?

So there you have it, two new projects to go on the 2nd Quarter UFO list when I make it.

D9P (Disappearing 9-Patch) Crib Quilt Is Quilted

Spring break week had another productive day.  I quilted the D9P crib quilt.  It measures 40" square.  Red, polka dot binding is already made.  Let's bind!

Quilt holder/helper came into the room right when I was done trimming.  It was a great opportunity to put him to work.  He also swept all of the loose strings under the longarm.  Woohoo!

 

Quilted! -- Upside Down!

I wanted to make use of my spring break time.  I quickly loaded this little red orphan block quilt onto the longarm frame yesterday.  I didn't pay attention to how the Baptist fans were going to land on the house...  So I guess I quilted it upside down.  I doubt if the baby that receives it will notice.

It's something I can live with, so I didn't rip it out.  My husband said it looks like it's windy at the house.  I don't remember what the block is called in the corners.  In this instance they look like boats on a sea of red.  I can't remember what project they were a leftover from.  It may have been a Pat Sloan block of the month piece that I didn't use?  Regardless, I still think it turned out cute.

The red dot binding left over from another project is ready to go.  I'll get it put on this week so that it can land in my school bag for when I got back to school on Tuesday, 4/7.

This quilt measures 43.5" square.

Bindings -- Slow Sunday Stitching

 I'm still working on multiple projects that are in the binding stage.  Tall Fly was in my sew-to-go bag:

I finished it on Friday!

Grandma's Embroidery quilt sits on my chair waiting for me to watch Survivor or a movie.

Zip It hangs out in the back seat of my truck for when I'm just waiting somewhere.  

In theory, three quilts are closer to the finish!

I did finish this little hand-stitched memory this week:

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