My UFO challenge for September was our Quilt Guild Challenge. We were given a fat quarter of this large print and one other fat quarter, mine being green. We could use up to 4 other fabrics.
This quilt is about 20" x 26". I decided to do a mosaic. It was very tedious and I spent hours with tweezers placing every 1/4" to 1/2" square, pre backed with fusible, on to the black background fabric. Turned out the fusible wasn't holding very well and I had to end up covering it with tulle (netting) and machine quilt between the tiny squares! More work than I expected but I did like the outcome and, it was well received.
Hope the rest of you are able to finish yours!
Thank you Judy for giving us the little push we needed to finish so many of our UFOs this year!

Wow--you have a lot of patience--I can't imagine having to use tweezers! (I'd sneeze) It is lovely and very creative! Congrats on your finish! Hope you can find time for October's UFO too!
I love mosaics but can't imagine having the patience to do one with 1/4" squares of fabrics! Your finish is wonderful!
That mosaic quilt is just beautiful. Lots of work, apparently, but the final product is a winner!
Love the other quilt as well. The border fabric is gorgeous!
1/2 to 1/4" pieces? I think you just might have a little problem with crazy! It's beautiful and well worth the efforts, but definitely not something I'd have patience for. I like this month's UFO, too. Good luck getting it finished witha ll else you have going on.
Love your mosaic quilt - it's beautiful! Congrats on the finish.
That mosaic is beautiful and it was a challenge. Looking forward to Octobers finish also. Judy C
The mosaic is beautiful. Not sure I would have the patience to do it.
That mosaic is amazing! I can't imagine myself ever having that kind of patience! Congrats on your finish and good luck with October. It's gonna be fabulous!
