These are ONLY my quilt ufo's;  I also have 2 sweaters, 1 cross-stitch sam-
pler, an ultrasuede floor-length vest with floor-length dress to wear under
it, 3-4 long-sleeved blouses, 3 dresses, 1 pair of pants, and 2-3 short-
sleeved or cap-sleeved blouses.

UFO's:

1.  Lap quilt of Chinese Puzzle.  Started out as bedquilt but decided that
  the green fabric was too light.  The 24 blocks are sewn and need only to be
  put together.  Am contemplating making a 25th block and arranging them into
  a 5x5 square.  Will be backed with brown floral and contain wool batting.

2.  Bedquilt (for me!) of Country Roads.  Travelling squares in butternut
  with pink rosebuds; background of orange-magenta-dark olive brush-stroke
  floral (sounds awful, looks awful on bolt, looks perfect in the quilt),
  in-block sashing of dark green with tiny beige stars, between-block sashing
  of dark red with buff and dark green flowers.  Border to be on 3 sides with
  9-patch corners.  Backing to be unbleached muslin pieced into quadrants
  with Seminole-style strips of butternut and muslin.  Home-made binding to
  be made of the butternut (love that butternut!).  Most of the 9-patches are
  sewn up (thank God for strip piecing) and ready to piece with the various
  sashings.  Will have wool batting.

3.  Wallhanging for border round robin:  called "Bridge Mix".  center block
  is 4 Card Tricks using 4 fabrics (2 in each C.T., no 2 C.T.'s alike).  Fab-
  rics are cranberry, medium slate blue, and dark green florals; background a
  pink mauve splattered paint design with some lt green and lt blue.  Ready
  to mail; eager to see what fellow robins will do with it.  Poly batting.

These would more accurately be labeled UBO's (un-begun objects):

4.  Bedquilt for sister.  She has a cat, had two previously.  Home-made
  pieced design:  14x14" block of cat's head in window frame.  Quilting will
  be the nose- and eye-whiskers.  Will applique a paw in the border some-
  where.  To be called "Waiting for Anna".  Awaiting sister's report of bed
  size and preferred color.  Promised for 1993 Christmas.

5.  Bedquilt for 8-year-old nephew.  Milky Way, with bright blue and bright
  yellow stars, bright red squares in corners.  Bedroom is white with blue/
  red/yellow space theme.

6.  Bedquilt for 5-year-old niece.  Ruby McKim's 12x6 tulip block in pastels.
  Bedroom is white with "antique" tulip wooden wallhanging & matching dolls.

7.  Wallhanging for brother and sister-in-law (parents to niece and nephew):
  Barrister's Block in dark green and cream (to match bedroom).  Sister-in-
  law is a lawyer.  #5, 6, and 7 would be one stunning parcel from Santa
  Claus, wouldn't it!

8.  Wallhanging for cousins:  original design based on Indian Trails (she
  is part Indian).  Turquoise fabrics with metallic silver ribbon pieced
  across the wallhanging.  (I found some metallic pale turquoise for the
  back of the ribbon where it "twists".)  Need to get size preference from
  them in order to know how big those 630 triangles (+/- 20) will be.  Prom-
  ised for 1993 Christmas.  Designed, fabrics bought and sitting there.  To
  be called "Pathways".

9.  Wallhanging:  milk chocolate background, rose petals in warm yellow
  appliqued, single rose stem with a few clinging petals on lower right-hand
  corner.  May use polyester assymetrical weave from Spain for background
  (haven't seen anything remotely right in the stores).  May have the right
  yellow already (a Jinny Beyer yellow-on-yellow marbled cotton).  Very first
  applique project.  Terrified, but what can you do about a dream?

10.  Bedquilt for mother:  Round The Twist in brown/grey/striped? fabric.  A
  few center octagons in this lovely iris-print fabric I got the other day.
  Remaining octagons in "stone" or "water".  Have mottled silver gray for the
  stones.  To be called "Iris Garden" or something.  May get daring and do
  sashiko quilting in non-iris octagons.  Desperate to design this thing:
  where's the graph paper?

11.  Bedquilt for brother:  as soon as I find a music print or piano fabric.
  Something simple like Shoofly.

12.  Rosary quilt: still a UFO (UBO) from last year.  Pieced blocks are de-
  signed.  Maybe for Harvest Auction 1994.
