UFO Parade Part 3

This will be the most revealing of the UFO parade.  Wow!  I knew I had all these projects, but somehow they seemed smaller when they were folded up in the drawers.  I would rather not date these projects because they are some of my oldest UFOs.  Many of these are class samples.


  1. Snowman table topper 
  2. 2 More Snowmen table toppers
  3. 2 winter Banners
  4. Winter wall hanging from a beginner class that I taught




  1. Mystery sampler from long ago at a retreat
  2. (top right) Ugly fabric table topper challenge
  3. (middle right) Strippy baby quilt 
  4. (bottom Left) Crazy Stars - King Size
  5. (bottom right) pastel log cabin baby quilt

Stories:  #1 - I had a quilting plan but I didn't feel confident to execute it so I packed it away, #4 - I thought it needed borders...Why??, #5 I didn't like it so I never finished it.



  1. Fall Banner
  2. Spring Banner
  3. Summer Banner 
These were all class samples.  



  1. Ugly block challenge.  Some of these are actually fun, and it was a great learning tool.  
  2. Stiles and path blocks....and lots of them.
  3. Applique wall hanging- love the colors, love the pattern, no desire to finish the applique
  4. Holiday topper - missing the applique.  Does it really need it?  I think not - finish and gift to a non-sewer as they won't notice how uneven it is ;-)






  1. My quilt group bought me this vintage top for Christmas 
  2. A special friend made me this king size tumbler quilt - pieced by hand.  I want to add a few borders so it covers the mattress
  3. Bonnie Hunter Pattern- Virginia Bound.  Let's just say I like paper piecing LESS than applique.  These few blocks were enough for me.

  1. Christmas Tree Skirt  - Will have to do some serious thinking on what the pattern is.  As I look at the pile of blocks, I am wondering what I was thinking with the colors.  Perhaps when I lay them out I won't be thinking about the trash.  I think it makes a hexagon, but I will have to think some more on it.
  2. Table topper that I was trying the technique.  I was tired of it when I had to repress and arrange the pieces.  Let me clarify that I didn't read the directions well and that is why I had to re-press them
  3. Super easy Runner that I was testing.  Thank goodness my helper is only counting the soldiers and not my projects.

Fall Wall hanging- I actually took this apart a few years ago because I didn't like the small pumpkin color.  I replaced it with the more muted color.  I like this project.  I am not sure why I never finished it.





  1.  More class projects - A fall and spring runner
  2. Simple striped runner 
  3. Snowman wall hanging done with Chenille - another applique
  4. Patches and pinwheels- needs a border (even my helper has grown weary of the photo shoot)
  5. Bow Ties -  This is my oldest UFO.  It needed one more border.  I should have done that when I had the plan straight in my head


  1. I think this was going to be a wall quilt in the TV room- good news...It still matches. (Top left)
  2. These are different blocks than number 1, but the same fabric. (Top right)
  3. Duplicate (bottom left)....
  4. Pile of 25 patch blocks - alias bingo squares
  5. Spring Runner 
I hope I captured them all - Yes, 35 UFOs in this post alone.  On the bright side, lots of these projects are small in size and they shouldn't take long to quilt and finish.

I am not finished.  Stop back on Sunday for part 4  where I reveal the balance and the grand total.  I decided that I would not count the projects that I have cut out but not started.

My kids often ask me- What are you going to do with all these when you finish them.  Do any of you worry about that?  

If you have any questions about my projects or where I got the patterns, just leave me a comment.  I love to hear from my readers!!

Oh my gosh, that is a lot! And quite a variety! Some of those would be very loved by friends and family. :)

Oh my! I do believe that I have found someone that has as many UFO's as I do. LOL! I would really hate to count mine.
