Can you believe it? This is the third month in a row I have finished an older UFO!
I have had these six appliqued blocks squirreled away for over a decade.
With the help of a friend, I finally figured out what to do with them. It required me making one more block but I quickly finished that one evening.
I added in some negative space and I made this sweet table runner.
I knew I didn't have the time to make enough blocks for a whole quilt. And I don't know why I felt like I couldn't just give the blocks away. I am happy that I came up with a solution that I could live with.
I decided to quilt it with some simple echo quilting.
I dug around in my Kaffe Fassett Collective fabric for a backing and binding.
My neighbor saw it and fell in love with it. Now I have to decide if I am ready to sell it!
I still have many more UFOs to finish up so I am hoping I can keep up the momentum...

I really like that echo quilting--this is such a neat runner--with negative space to place a centerpiece on. Beautiful work on the applique too...hugs for a great weekend Julierose
It's fantastic, I love how you grouped the blocks together. And hooray for having matching background fabric to pull it all together!!
What a great use of orphans. I like the way you quilted it too.
Another fantastic finish.
Lovely layout for these blocks. Looks great. Congrats on finishing yet another UFO. ;^)
Love the quilting around those beautiful appliqued flower blocks!
Time to "plant" those orphans -- what a wonderful way to use them!
