Meander Quilting & 4 Fast Finishes! TGIFF

 

I am happy to be hosting TGIFF this week and to show off my four latest finishes!

The past year I have been working on shortening my UFO list by sewing at least 15 minutes a day on my UFOs.  I had been working on a One Block Wonder UFO, but didn't have the right fabric I wanted for the  border,  so while I waited for that to come in I worked on four quick finishes.  

The first finish was my Diamond Bars quilt that I started in February of 2020 when I was playing along with the Color it Red Blog Hop.  I made the top for the hop, but never got it quilted. I spent so long trying to decide how to custom quilt it that it never got done.  In the end I decided to do some all over meander heart quilting and it turned out perfect!  If you want to make your own I have some simple instructions on this blog post:  Diamond Bars Instructions

I still had more UFO sewing time that week so I put another small quilt top on the frame.  This top came about when I made some other samples for my Brick Windows Quilt Tutorial.  It is a quick quilt that showcases fun novelty prints, the ones that are too cute to cut up into small pieces.  This top came about as I made samples of what the quilt would look like in a different color ways. I enjoy showcasing different color variations in my tutorials, especially when the quilt tops come together so quickly.

If you want to see how fast it is to make, you can view the video here:

With those two quilts done I decided to keep going and added another small quilt top the quilt frame.

  This time a flowery butterfly version of my Baby Geo quilt.  This is Another quick baby quilt and is a fun quilt to introduce new quilters to sewing with Triangles.  It is another color way from the main version, but has a border added as well to make it slightly bigger than the original.

With those three done I still had a few more days left in my week for UFO sewing and since these small quilts were quilting up in under an hour, so I decided to do one more.  Another Brick Windows version.

A Pokémon version!  I have some Pokémon lovers in my life and couldn't pass up this fabric when I saw it, but I wasn't sure what I would do with it till I came up with my Brick Windows quilt pattern.  It fit the center squares perfectly.  With this one quilted up, I now have all the Brick Window quilts from my YouTube video quilted.  No more UFOs left over from that video project.

It sure feels good to have these four finishes off the UFO list.

This is my second year documenting my UFO progress on YouTube. I started in 2025, completed the entire year, and decided to continue in 2026 so I can knock even more UFOs off my long list.
