Hollyhocks: A quilting UFO prevention

 Good day, and welcome to my blog.  Today I am reporting a finish.  It is bound and this prevents this quilt from becoming a UFO - an unfinished object.

I had purchased the pattern for this quilt a long time ago (it's copyrighted 2002!), and it languished in my quilting space.  This year I bought some batik fabrics, and it was time to sew it up.

I blogged about it this summer: https://viridian61.blogspot.com/2024/08/hollyhocks-now-top.html

The finished top was sent to the long armer I use - always a wonderful job - and it's back and bound.


A close up of the quilting pattern:


The pattern is Posy Patch/Hollyhocks. By U Can 2, Quick and Easy quilts by Eileen Sullivan copyright 2002.  Quilt finishes about 50 by 60 inches, I think.

As it is done, it does not carry over into next year.  Remember I play the UFO game as mentioned in my last post

It's Thanksgiving week here in the USA.  Hope you have a great one.

It's so pretty! It brings back memories of my mom and her hollyhocks on the farm.
