Rocket Ships Quilt Completed: My third UFO done this year!

Unfinished object (UFO) is a quilting term.  I have completed my third one for 2020 and the fourth one is well on it's way.  Plus, I am quilting a donation quilt that I pieced a couple weeks ago.  Whew!

I started this one about four years ago, but I think I already went over that in my first post of 2020, where I listed all nine unfinished projects I intend to complete in 2020.  I am working on them as hard as I can, so I can get to the fun stuff, the new stuff, I want to do as well.  This may be my third UFO for 2020, but I have made three other quilts besides them.  A couple of them are doll quilts, which I do not post on this blog.  If you want to see doll quilts, please, click on the link, on the left side of this page, titled "Gluten Free Doll Quilts."  I suggest you keep scrolling down and also look at the older posts, as there are a lot of them and I think these dolls make amazing quilts!
     Meanwhile, on this site, I am working on my next UFO, the purple twisting turning twenty quilt.  What's on my design wall in March? The PTTT quilt.  I have all the rows sewed (that would be five rows of 16"X16" blocks), and I just need to sew the rows to each other.  Maybe tomorrow night I will get that done and get started on the border.

the bottom row is not on my wall, as it will not fit.

We had a quilting retreat at my house this last weekend. I hogged the design wall, but we had plenty of layout space in my quilt room, as we set-up our sewing machines in the living room.  It was just enough for the five of us.  It was nice to be together for awhile.  Due to COVID-19, we know we will not get to hang out for a while.  We had a supportive and productive weekend.

Second UFO completed!

On Sunday, March 1, at 9:22 pm, I completed my flannel frog quilt.  I looked back in my photos from 2011 and found the small quilt I made with the left over fabrics from the quilt top I made.  So, I made the flannel frog quilt top in January-February of 2011.  I just got it all finished this week.  I quilted it on my home sewing machine.  I had some problems with the spring-loaded quilting foot, so my husband ordered me a new one.  It got here in two days, and it worked like a champ.

it is 72 inches long and 61 inches wide

 This next photo is of the little quilt I made in February of 2011, out of the left overs from making the big quilt top.  I have enjoyed it for many years.  I am so happy to have the big one finished (nine years later!).  Who knew?

 If you look at the cat photos on the right side of this web page, and scroll down to the third one from-the-bottom, you will see Merlinda, the Ninja Cat, sitting on top of the flannel frog quilt as it was being laid out on my table.  That is the photo I went looking for, so I could date when I got the quilt top finished.  Merlinda is no longer with us.  Sad panda.
