UFO sightings

I went with Lyn’s suggestion of a small red border followed by piano keys around my 45 special. I did this for many reasons one I like pieced borders, two I already had strips cut for the piano keys so I avoided having to do that necessary evil of cutting them all and finally I thought it would look good. Thank you Lyn for your wonderful idea. I love how it turned out. Now I just need to get some batting, find a back and get quilting to move this UFO closer to a finished product. I keep my batting at my neighbors. We share a bolt of the wonderful stuff. We store it at her house because unlike my bustling home with oodles of children and all that in tales she has a quiet home with her hubby and little dog, Tucker. So while I wait for her to get home from work so I can get some I pulled out this Christmas quilt. I don’t really care for it. Not scrappy enough it would probably remain under the cutting table indefinitely but I have a friend that really likes it. So to create some space for me and joy for her I got it out and pinned it good so I can start quilting it. While I was under the cutting table I also noticed this UFO. A few years back my guild did a nickle swap. This is the quilt I created from that swap. I just need to add a stop border and a pieced outer border. At quilt guild they say ‘finish means freedom’ and since it is July. The month when we Americans celebrate freedom. I think I should create a little freedom. Freedom from the clutter under the cutting table. Freedom to start new projects. Freedom to choose from many quilts to snuggle under and share with friends. Freedom from UFO sightings that say ‘you really should finish me.’
