Which UFO to quilt next?



A dilemma. Which UFO should I FMQ next? Am tempted to quilt the 1930's style quilt top first - with it being such a change from the appliquéd Wm Morris quilt. The 'Winter Singing Garden' quilt contains many appliquéd blocks as you can see - could be a bit repetitive from doing the last quilt. The Autumn version of this quilt is still waiting . . .
You can see it on the right -  "About Me" -  I am standing in front of it.

Ooh - no -no - no. . . . mustn't think too far ahead -  frightening!  Have another 6 bed-size tops waiting to be quilted - not including those half finished pieced quilts stored in bags up in the loft!!
Lone Stars (2) - Pineapple (1) - Scrap quilt (1) - plus others. That's teaching workshops for you.

Thank goodness for the JUKI . .

Keep watching for next few years folks . . .

Both of the above quilt tops look 'raggy' but quilting will transform them.

Must have a good think about how to quilt the 1930's top. Something quite different from the art nouveau style used in the Wm Morris quilt.

Will experiment with white Mettler polysheen thread - as mentioned in previous posting - before tackling the 1930's top, but revert to white Madeira polyneon if I'm not happy with the result.

Might include some silver thread quilting on the Winter quilt. Might!

I agree with Maggi here. Everything you make had 'Quality' all over it Babs. Keep up the good work and the UFO Zapping. I will be back to see how you are getting on.
