Last year I counted all my UFOs and realized I had 27 finished quilt tops along with several unfinished quilt tops and orphan blocks. I'm a piecer and not great at the quilting part. I decided that I would set a goal to have more quilts quilted than I start so I could whittle down the number of UFOs. To that end I asked my two sons and my nieces to choose a quilt top and I would make an effort to complete them. That would take care of 9 of the UFOs. My youngest son became engaged and I made one of the tops into a welcome-to-the-family quilt for my new daughter-in-law. That would make a total of 10. Missouri Star did a fantastic job of quilting it for me. This quilt is the 8th quilt completed and it is niece Sarah who sent me a picture snuggling up in her new quilt.

Patrick's Quilt

Several years ago I started quilting and fell in love. However, my love was limited to piecing tops so I ended up with a backlog of 27 unquilted tops. In 2016 I resolved to start sending the larger quilts to a long-arm quilter and attempting to quilt small quilts myself, thus cutting back on my UFOs. One of those quilt tops was one I had made for my youngest son. I sent it to Missouri Star to be quilted and they, as usual, did a beautiful job on the quilting. Because he is partial to St. Patrick's Day, I chose the shamrocks pattern and a green thread. That quilting really pops on the black and multi-colored blocks and especially on the solid black backing. I have totally fallen in love with this quilt and I am anxious to present him with it in October.

Lavender Star in the Garden

Six (or more) years ago I pieced this quilt. I do not remember who designed the pattern, but I fell in love with it and had to make it. Thanks to Missouri Star Quilt Company, it has finally been quilted and taken off of the UFO pile. So happy with it and I believe it will find a home on my sewing room wall.

Quilt for GYN Cancer Survivors

As a cancer survivor, I wanted to make a quilt for my Oncologist's office to thank the staff for their excellent care and enthusiastic support as I went through my treatments. This quilt was presented to my oncologist at Athena's Run for GYN Cancer. It is now hanging in the Chemo Room at her office to encourage those going through the treatments.

Robin's Log Cabin

My goal for 2016 is to complete 6 to 12 of my many UFOs. To help accomplish that goal, I took pictures of each one and contacted my 5 nieces and asked them if they would like one of the quilts made by Aunt Susan. This is the first completed quilt for my first-born niece, Robin. Quilted by Missouri Star Quilt Co.
