UFO Sighted
I have pulled out an UFO – notice I didn’t say my oldest UFO – and am determined to get this quilt completed.
This is an X-Block pattern called Mo’s Basket. I am very pleased with the woven effect of the quilt middle, but what to do with the borders? I don’t have enough of the blue/purple batik from the middle of the quilt so I went shopping. The strip of fabric on the right was an attempt to find some purple batik for the border, but it doesn’t work – it is too bright. That is the reason this project has sat in a box for several years.
Finally I decided to go a whole different route and found some gold floral oriental print for the inner border. There should be enough scraps left to do a pieced border like the one on the Challenge Quilt 2012.
One thing I do know is that this is not going back into a box, but will be completely finished – quilted and bound before I start another project.

I’m still trying to figure out what UFO stands for in this context. I’m thinking it has something to do with being unfinished?
UFO means UnFinished Object similar to PIG which is Project in Grocery bag
