I posted some of them, here, here, here
My Sunday Stitchers' UFO challenge number for April was #2 - to make the flimsy for that project. As they were all still individual blocks - that was a tough call - fortunately Easter and a lock down helped and I got it done - just!!
The blocks were - 50 8" x 8" and 50 4" x 8". So i joined the 50 small ones and made 25 blocks and then did a 8 across and 9 down layout. I originally had another plan in mind . .
.but didn't like it once I started to lay it out. So went with this.
My original plan was "just a quilt"...but it's a fairly good size for a queen sized bed, so it might end up there...(should have put slightly wider borders on...oh well...).
and I made the binding at the same time...supposedly that is a good thing to do...before you use the left over fabric for something else perhaps??
I have a few small things to tick off my list and then I can work on next months's project...looks like more binding is needed...
Speaking of which .... I knew I should have been able to make more green binding when I made the last lot for the WMQG (for the bush fire quilts) ...I found the rest of the fabric , so I made 4 more.
Happy Sewing

That is an amazing looking quilt top, well done on reaching your goal.
Wow! The quilt top finished up so well. The colours worked well together.
All your blocks look amazing sewn together into the flimsy and I like the grey sashing....
Bindings make a great gift to help make fire quilts...
Your blocks look amazing altogether. You should be very happy with the result.
I love your blocks - great job of putting them together. xx

The quilt is great Lots of work went into it
Good on you for making more binding
I think your quilt turned out great. It's an interesting quilt to look at with so many different blocks. And I like the grey sashing. Good job!
Beautiful - looking forward to seeing this at our first/next Sunday Stitches get together - boy are we gonna have lots of show n tell by then... lol keep up the great work..xx
Lovely finish. Yes, I think it's best to make the binding right away, or at lease store the fabric with the flimsy, so you won't be tempted to use it for something else.
You have done so well with this project....looks great ...
