First October Finish

I'm really falling behind this month -- the first finish of the month, and it's already October 18! Here is "Dresden Blooms," my UFO for October:


I'm slowly finishing all my projects from "the 1930s reproduction collection." This is a Strip Club project from years ago. Pattern by Susan Ziegler for Cozy Quilts.

The pattern has two borders of print fabrics around the center Dresden Plate block. Because I want this for a baby quilt, I left them out to make the quilt smaller.

Dresden Bloom

That caused me a little trouble with the pink half-circles on the half-Dresdens on the outside blocks. It looks to me like the pattern tester had the same problem, or is that just wishful thinking?

Linking up to "Can I Get a Whoop Whoop" at Confessions of a Fabric Addict:


and Link a Finish Friday at Richard and Tanya Quilts:

This is Quilt #44 for 2013 -- eight to go to make 52 Quilts in 52 Weeks! Guess I need to put down the knitting needles and get back to the sewing machine.

  3. Colors will be great for a baby to look at. I know myself better than to plan a quilt a week! Good luck to you.

  4. Love your UFO for October. It should fit well in any nursery since it has so many different colors. I really like the pink centers. Just 8 more to go in 2013...I think you need to up the count! Have a perfect day. Sandi
