It should be on the UFO list. Too bad I don\u2019t have one. The blocks were teaching samples when I taught a sampler class the time before I started writing the quilt class sampler <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/aq-projects-tutorials\/aq-tutorials\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tutorials<\/a>. I found one block recently, but otherwise I actually don\u2019t know exactly where the blocks are hiding. I have an idea and still have to crawl up in the far reaches of my fabric closet soon and see if I can find them. I haven\u2019t even found a picture of all the blocks. Sad.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/quiltcon-day-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pies and Points<\/a> from 2016 Victoria Findlay Wolfe class. The last time I worked on it was when Julie and I had a playdate in April 2018. I brought this piece with me so I could cut more elements (Julie has a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B01LYNIYLR\/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=artquiltmaker-20&amp;creative=9325&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;creativeASIN=B01LYNIYLR&amp;linkId=ad1786613b29ff11d8155182720d697b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sizzix<\/a>). I lost my excitement about this piece shortly thereafter and still have to get it back. Thus, I had to move this to the WIPs area.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2014\/05\/pointillist-palette-4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pointillist Palette #4<\/a>: Fourth is a series of 6 quilts; needs tiny square patches sewn together.

I am still stalled on this again. As one of my oldest (I am pretty sure) UFO, I put it on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/04\/whats-your-oldest-ufo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my blog<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/artquiltmaker\/status\/987744235699879942\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">out into the Twitterverse<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ddrquilter\/status\/987747460075458560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Diane suggested that I not consider this as a self portrait<\/a>. I think that strategy is a great idea. I am now trying to think of a new persona for her.<\/li>\n<li>Black and Red quilt \u2013 This project is creeping into my mind, so it might be up for work soon. The project originally came about because of two other projects. I made a whole bunch of bias tape as part of my failed attempt at doing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2016\/02\/mighty-lucky-january-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mighty Lucky Club<\/a> a few years ago. Another part of the inspiration came from my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/improv-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">class<\/a> with Tina of Little Blue Cottage fame. This was going to be for a nephew, but I think it will be for one of my SILs and BILs. I have rectangles cut and some bias tape ready. My next step is to sew the bias tape to the rectangles like pickup sticks. I don\u2019t have any photos of this, so you\u2019ll have to use your imagination.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artquiltmaker.com\/blog\/2018\/08\/progress-on-rd-piece\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Who Am I<\/a>? \u2013 This piece is off my design. I have lost momentum, but I think that just has to do with the amount of satin stitching I am facing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Finished 2020 Quilt Projects none yet!
