November UFO

The decision of which UFO to focus my energy on each month is always a challenge. You just never know which projects will suddenly start calling attention to themselves! That is certainly the case with this month's choice - Scrappy Maverick Stars.

Maverick Stars on the design wall

This was a Rainbow Scrap Challenge project that started in April 2014 and was inspired by Bonnie Hunter's scrappy pattern. I finished the quilt top in September 2019 when visiting my friend Deanna. 
Since then it has been waiting patiently to become a finished quilt. It's patience recently ran out and now it urgently wants to become a finished quilt!


The first steps are preparing a backing, cutting a piece of batting to the needed size, and then pin basting the 3 layers in preparation for machine quilting.

Here is the beginning of the basting the layers together using my favourite Kwik Klip tool which helps me fasten the pins closed.

  4. Sometimes you just have to answer the call. It will be a lovely finish, though I might think about a long arm quilter. Have fun

  5. Beautiful stars! I can just imagine their strident voices calling out "enough is enough, it's our turn now". Think how happy the pretty little stars are now you are giving them some loving attention.
