Crazy Quilt UFO out of the pile.............

Out of the UFO pile.......started in November, 2011.......(10 years and counting??) are these 6 crazy quilt blocks........back then, as a new blogger, I was actually trying to start a UFO pile!! hahahahahahaha..........




 Ok so at one point I was planning to make a crazy quilt throw for myself but I don't really need that anymore so I've decided to make a crazy quilt bed runner as a gift for someone instead......I have now made 6 more blocks using memories belonging to that person and am just about ready to put it all together.......I've used some vintage linens and other special pieces in the last 6 blocks:



So this will be my WOOFA finish for January........and I would like to thank Dear Cheryll at her blog
for getting us all motivated to work on our UFOs.  Since I began the WOOFA challenge in July 2020 I have managed to get 7 projects out of my UFO pile and actually finish them! And it has also helped get me to post a little more frequently....... Thank you Cheryll and all the friends who participate in the WOOFA challenge for keeping us all motivated with your encouragement. 
If you would like to join the challenge just click here:
and read the information, shoot an email to Cheryll and she will send you a reminder each month....easy peasy!

I love Crazy Quilt blocks! Those are going to make such a nice bed runner. I need to get some UFOs finished around here.

I made a CQ'd bed runner for our bed awhile ago and resorted to using one of the fancier stitches on my machine for the seam treatments. Realized that it might get some wear and tear that would be detrimental to hand stitching over time so opted for the machine. Serves a great purpose and looks nice too. I'll be watching for updates on your project.

I was the lucky recipient of Ida’s latest UFO bed runner crazy quilt blocks! It’s so cool! Ida used scraps from a t-shirt that I had made as a youngster amongst all of the other really special scraps. I can’t stop looking at all of the neat pieces that were used to create this amazing piece. Thank you Ida for your very thoughtful gift! AND, she also used pieces from an ugly (at least it was before it was used here) piece of fabric I had sent to her as part of another project.
