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.

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.
Linking up to One Monthly Goal
can't go wrong with stars - I love them
ReplyDeleteI can see why this one called out to be finished!
ReplyDeleteThis is a pretty RSC project. Good luck on your OMG goal to fully finish it. I'm sure you will have great success.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you just have to answer the call. It will be a lovely finish, though I might think about a long arm quilter. Have fun
ReplyDeleteBeautiful 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.
ReplyDeleteSEW glad to see the Maverick (Stars) won out!! Mine have been patiently waiting, as well. Thanks for reminding me that I should make some more blocks to go with them, Kathy!
