Fall 2025 UFO List

I’m not doing the official Ravelry UFO sign up but I like the idea of finishing five projects so I’m listing some of my UFO’s below.  I would be happy to finish five but my list has more than five because, like The Joyful Quilter, I’m a moody quilter, meaning I need to be in the mood to work on a project.  

So here’s the list, and this feels a bit like airing my dirty laundry to the world 🫣.

1)  Quilt and bind Roll, Roll, Cotton Boll (RRCB)!!!

2)  Finish the snap bag…..ok, it’s an easy one but it’s been hanging around like this for a year now 🤦🏻‍♀️

3)  Quilt and bind the fall table runner.  This one isn’t old as I started it in August.

4)  Finish the third quilt from broken dishes blocks made as part of the RSC many (many!) years ago.  These are all from thrifted shirts and the rows are partially together.

5)  Finish Starfire.  Again, not an old one but I really want to finish this it!

6)  Finish Quadrangle.  I’d love to have this one up next on Sophie, my longarm, after I finish RRCB.

7)  Finish the flannel donation quilt.  Should be done soon while it’s still football season.

8)  Make the last remaining broken dishes blocks into a small baby quilt.  I’ve cut sashing strips and cornerstones because some of these blocks aren’t quite 8 1/2”, oops!

9)  Finish Celtic Solstice, another Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt that’s been in the works a loooong time, just not as long as RRCB.  I have a stack of both A & B blocks already made but have A. Lot. More. To. Go. 

10)  Make a table topper from these waste triangles that have been kicking around for years 🙄.

11)  Make a quilt starting with these rejects from a donation quilt I finished in July.

12)  And here’s the one I’m hanging my head in shame over.  Quilt Diva Julie sent me this project when it no longer inspired her.  I absolutely love it and jumped right in, even purchasing the Studio triangle die for it.  Well, two things collided to put this project in time out.  First, no matter how small my seams, the HST’s just wouldn’t size correctly.  I tried fudging and sewed several blocks but then neglected to have an ironing plan.  I prefer to nest my seams vs ironing them open and I HATE when I don’t plan ahead and seams don’t nest.  I finally decided to un-sew everything, figure out what size HST I could easily sew, cut all the squares to that size (3 1/4” and this is done), develop an ironing plan and get ‘er done.  This one might push itself to the front of the line as I’ve not made an all solid fabric quilt before and I adore cheddar!!

I’ll be a happy quilter if I finish five things from my list and even happier if some of the others get moved forward a bit.
