Finishing UFO's.



I finished these two UFO's this week-end. The Dresden Plate wallhanging is one that I started about three years ago. After I finished the Dresden Plate, it looked too plain, so I added some
3-D flowers in the center, then I quilted the corners with a block pattern.



The Wallhanging below is one that I started a couple of years ago. I used a pattern that Gina Smith sent me for wholecloth pillows. She also sent two skeins of hand-dyed pearle cotton in
shades of turquoise and purple. I used the pattern and the thread to do the quilted center. After I finished hand quilting the center, I machine quilted the borders onto the center. I had a lot of problems with the seminole pieced border (matching the corners), but I decided that finished was better than perfect. LOL. Overall, I like it. I put both of these wallhangings in my office.
