Vintage Juki Spring UFO

This is my UFO completion for the month of April.


I started this about a year ago as the inaugural project for my new Juki sewing machine. The fabrics were all 'vintage' calico's from my storage box, one I remember making a dress from in high school and my 30 year reunion is this year... that makes them (and me) old!  All things combined that make the name of this quilt Vintage Juki Spring. 

Its large, a generous queen size, approx 85x85.  I FMQ in a large stipple type design.... love to do that, so relaxing!  I asked my husband to hold it, but typical male, he had to involve tools and got out c clamps to hang it from the deck off his office.  I think it looks pretty and my just leave it there.

  3. That is pretty. The calicoes give the illusion of solids from a distance, and it has a modern look because of the pattern. Way to go! I bet it feels great to cross one UFO off the list!
