Unidentified Fabric Object!
"Mommy, we have a problem!"
When
announced that the theme for this year's
Quilt Quazy Queens Blog Hop
was UFOs
I knew I had (more than) a few of these objects in my orbit
to be finished.
I picked one that I enjoyed working on last fall and
really want to see finished.
Lady of the Lake Quilt Along Quilt
I had finished all the blocks to make the quilt along quilt last September
and was a little concerned that the fabrics I chose,
although I love the bright colors and prints,
were too overwhelming
when placed side by side.
So my little quilty kitties and I put our heads together ...
... and decided to make sashing between the blocks
with this restful solid blue fabric.
It is Lake Blue from Kona solids.
Here it is in progress on my design wall.
I will be using this for the setting triangles and outer border, too.
Fortunately for me, kind Marian said that
we did not have to have this UFO finished.
Thank you, sweet Marian.
I am not finished as of this typing.
The view out my window today.
We have 2 feet of new snow out there.
Although there is a lot more damage in our yard,
we were blessed again not to lose power.
Digging out from this type of weather event is tiring
and time consuming.
I have been sewing ...
... but my UFO is still a UFO.
I decided to make a larger quilt so I sewed six more blocks.
This is quick and easy with the Triangles On a Roll papers.
This is my WIP yesterday on my design wall.
I am still adding sashing and setting triangles and corners.
Nutmeg has been very helpful making this quilt,
with occasional cat naps.
My quilty kitties and I hope to have this top done on Friday.
I will update this post with our progress .
I shall keep on sewing.

Triangles on a roll are one of my favorite ways to stitch triangles too.
This is wonderful. Love the color contrast.
I love the fabrics in the squares, I also agree sashing would help keep them separate as it would have been quite busy without the sashing. I'm not in love with the lake blue fabric, but perhaps it's just the picture... Sorry.. not a color I would ever pick for myself... However, I do love the how its going together and being on point will really make those squares shine. I can't wait to see the finished project. I'm so happy you participated in the hop this year Pat.
Thank you for sharing your lovely UFO project with us. Looks great.

Thanks for joining the hop. You turned your UFO into a brand new project. Great Save.
My vote is to sit and sew until at least a foot melts off by itself then worry about digging out:) It's going to be a lovely quilt.
Unreal amount of snow - so thankful to love in SC. Hope you all are staying warm and safe. Your quilt is turning out nicely. Love the picture of the two kitties putting their heads together
Beautiful! I have the lady of the lake pattern with the appliqué border and I am so intimidated by the blocks. They are tiny and look so hard
Ugh the snow, I've had more than enough! Great idea to use sashing to unify your blocks. It's turning out beautifully!
Your UFO is turning out to be very pretty. Wow, that is a mountain of snow. We seem to be missing all the snow storms here in Virginia. We've only had about an inch. grinnie1961 at gmail dot com
Your sashing choice is wonderful! I agree that the prints are gorgeous but a bit busy before sashing. We've had a lot less snow than what you've shown but still, I'm so over winter! Good luck digging out.
I love how it looks with the added sashing!
I like the blue, that was a good choice with all the pretty, busy fabric. I'm glad that you can sit inside to look at the pretty snow, and have someone else do the shoveling for you :)
Adding the sashing just makes your quilt pop. Great fabric choice.
You have a couple of very helpful kitties! Thanks!

Wow! The colors/sashing look great!
thanks for sharing. this is going to be a pretty quilt. I like how the light blue sashing tones it all down a smidgen. you can do this
I love your colours. So pleased you have been encouraged to try and finish this project
I love your choice of fabrics. I'm fairly new to quilting so I'm not familiar with Triangles On a Roll. I guess it's time to learn something new.
I really like your on point setting.
Oh how funny...I just printed off that pattern and was thinking about starting it. I love the bright colors in yours. Stay inside and stitch away, with all that snow, it's the best thing to do! ;-)
Love your colors - stay warm, Susan
HI, Pat,
2 feet of snow!! That's why I now winter in Arizona. We get thousands of feet of sunshine most days. You fixed that UFO just right; the sashing really helps rest the eyes. The colors are great though.
LOVE the colors and pattern for the quilt you are making! Can't wait to see it finished!
Great looking quilt. =)
I'm with you with snow - had enough. Keep the power! Ever big wind gust you wonder.
Cool helpful kitty cat! I like all your projects. Have a great day! angielovesgary2 atgmail dotcom
Snow, snow, go away...come again another day!!!
I have several feline helpers. Sometimes they are not all that helpful, but they make good memories.
That restful blue between the blocks is a wonderful idea. I agree with you about the snow.
Very pretty! I love your fabrics.
Your fabrics are beautiful and look great with the light blue sashing. Your quilty kitties are adorable. I have 3 cats and 1 of them is usually up in my sewing room with me.
Your quilt is going to be beautiful!!!
Kona's Lake Blue is the perfect choice for a resting eye on your colorful quilt! It's got the perfect name, too! You will be tickled, along with your kitties, when you get this one finished.
Love that blue sashing. Very effective.
I have always wanted to make this pattern. Your bright colors are beautiful. I like the sashing with it too.
I too enjoy bright colors with the same finishing problems at times :) I really like the large blocks. Good luck finishing.
The sashing is Great!! Does tone down the busy prints..yet makes them stand out at same time! Thank you for sharing :)
Thanks for sharing your beautiful project. raydeer@memlane.com
This is going to be beautiful! I love the colors and what you are doing with the blocks. Thanks for sharing this!
What a gorgeous quilt! Beautiful colors too! I do like the blue sashing, just the thing needed, hehe. Great job! Thanks for sharing!

It is going to be stunning Pat! LOVE the blocks and colors. The sashing is a great choice! xoxoxoxo
You and your lovely quilt inspectors are doing a great job. The colour is perfect for the sashing.
love the fabrics that you are using! I really would love to learn how to use them. Nancy A: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
Your Lady of the Lake is gorgeous!
Love this project. Can't wait to see it completed.
I like it on point. I have some smaller triangles on a roll and never used them, I should dig it out and use up some scraps!
I just love the colors that you chose for this quilt top. Just so pretty. I can't wait to see it all finished up.
The light blue sashing really made your blocks stand out. Beautiful quilt!
I loved watching your progress! What a cool design you've chosen, especially the orange and dark blue blocks!
Love the fabric in the blocks and can't wait to see the finished quilt. I always feel good when something is done. Love your kitty helper.
Happy to be here.
I love how bright and cheery your blocks are and I don't think they are too loud. They're wonderful!
