The idea of finishing one UFO a month was great. After all, I could manage to get one quilt quilted a month right?
WRONG.
January I had the problem of not being able to sandwich a quilt. It was a good excuse. I didn’t want to damage my new dining room table. Then my friend Joan came to my rescue and sent me a video on a new method. I will admit that I was interested, so about midway through the month, I finally got around to going to the hardware store for some boards.
I tried it and liked it. It was SO easy to sandwich a quilt. I did change the method up just a little to suit me better. I drew a line on the board at the halfway point. I then marked the center point on each end of the quilt with masking tape. I also taped down the first edge so that it was easier to roll up.
I managed to get three quilts sandwiched in two days. A record for me.
I even started to quilt one. But it wasn’t one on my UFO listing to the right. It was one from my list way back in January. Oh well. I still have March, right? It shouldn’t be hard to quilt a bunch of quilts this month, right? Considering I still have to sandwich two of them? Do you think I can do it?
