UFO Challenge – January

My BFF Nancy has issued the UFO challenge again for 2010.  I have this challenge list over on my sidebar.  For the next 10 months she will pick a number at the beginning of the month and the challenge is to get the UFO that corresponds with that number on your list finished before the end of the month.

For January the number is 4, which means that I will be working on “Patty’s Quilt”  The top is done and it just needs to be quilted.  I’m still trying to decide if I want to add borders or not.  What do you think?  I think a narrow blue inner border and a wider border using the red print and finishing with the same blue for the binding would look good.

Either way, hopefully it’ll be finished before February 1st (along with 2 other UFOs that have January deadlines).

Even with a broken elbow, I plan to have a productive month :)

Beth, yes, I agree with you about the narrow blue inner border and a wider border using the red print and finishing with the same blue for the binding. I think that would look good too. I'm looking forward to doing the UFO challenge and to seeing the finished quilts. I hope your elbow gets better quickly. Been there, done that...Happy New Year...hugs from Texas. Linda

I actually think it looks good without a border at all. Then you could bind with either the blue or red. That would make it easier to finish this month too, right?

Just a newbies opinion, but I think that quilts look more "finished" with a border....

Gorgeous quilt though!
