It is out of the pizza box......

.....and the borders are on and ready to quilt.


Spinning Flowers


that's 2 PHD's pieced since January 1st
...the hard part is done.
I'm really serious about emptying a few of my pizza boxes!!
I have way too many UFO's...
...my goal is to finish 12 UFO's  by the end of the year... 
...the next pizza box revealed this PHD....


Purple Log Cabin UFO from about 2006 or 2007.


...this was a class project from 2006 or 2007.
To my surprise the pizza box did not have the pattern in it...
I'm still looking for it....but I can finish this beauty without the pattern.
I remember the pattern had a log cabin border
...that is not going to happen.....
not sure what I am going to do with the borders...
maybe a narrow green inner border finishing at 1 inch...
...that is the width of the logs....
and a purple outer border 6 or 8 inches wide.


I'm still working on these too...
I started February 5 and making pretty good progress...(o:


Dresden Plate Quilt Along by Bunny Hill Designs


Dresden Plate Club...Bunny Hill Designs


I think this is what I am going to use....

Kona snow background
green dot for sashing
sashing corner stones....to be determined???
navy print for inner border
floral outer border.....


I'm off to do a bit of stitching...(o:




hugs and happy stitching

    Both quilts are beautiful! I think I need to get serious about my UFO's, too.

    These finishes are very impressive!
    I agree with skipping the log cabin border. There is enough happening inside that lovely quilt with out having need for a busy border.
    Great to see the plates growing. And I like the border choices for that one, too.

    Wow... I love your purple log cabin top... that certainly needs to be finished up... gorgeous! Your Dresden plates are also looking good.

    I, too, am working on UFOs this year and resisting starting anything new until I put a serious dent in the list.

    Just lovely! You have some great pizza boxes - I should pull one of mine, but don't think there is something as lovely as yours. The dresdan is stunning and great border fabric.
