I have said it in previous years, but truly, this year I am focused on finishing some old UFOs.
I am joining forces with a friend who has the same goal so we are supporting each other.
My project for February was to make something with these blocks. I either needed to make more and make a quilt....
Or I initially thought about combining them with these old blocks into a wall hanging.
Once I thought about it, I decided to just turn these blocks into a large table runner.
When I started analyzing the project, there were a few things that were quite clear....
1. I did NOT want to make more blocks.
2. I did not need a wall hanging and I wasn't sure it was something that I could sell.
3. I put so much work into these, I couldn't just abandon the project.
4. I need to just keep it simple!
It measures 19 x 62" long. I would love to keep it but it is larger than any table I own.
So it will be going into my Etsy shop and hopefully find a new home soon.
I am just happy I crossed these blocks off my list.
I found fabric for the borders, backing and binding in my stash.
I am super pleased with how it turned out.
So far I have finished UFOs in January and February. I am thinking hard about abandoning my March project and replacing it with something else on my list. Hmmmm...or maybe something new!
Before I go, I just want to remind everyone that you can still buy the Pre-Cut Pattern Bundle. All ten of the above patterns for $19. You can read more about it on this post.
Or buy it through the button below.

What a gorgeous runner that turned into, Cynthia!! It really was a perfect solution for a small number of quilt blocks. Congratulations on marking another UFO off the list!
Good choice, it makes a beautiful runner. I cannot make any big quilts anymore for various reasons, so I am trying to scale back and make smaller items. It does take another type of "vision" I think. Smaller seems to mean more precise piecing and really good color choices--at least for me. I am struggling with those issues right now...and as for UFOs--
I will be tackling those as soon as I can manage to get my head around each one's problem (i.e. the reason I stopped making it!!). Nice work on using these blocks hugs, Julierose
Oh yes I think you chose wisely to make these blocks into this table runner, I bet it won't last long in your shop.
Beautiful! Wonderful pattern and the colors are so yummy.
That table runner is beautiful! I’m sure it will sell in no time.
What a smart choice to pivot and make a table runner with the blocks, Cynthia!
Congratulations on another UFO off the list. Beautiful blocks.
