January 2026 UFO Finished

I am happy to say that my January 2026 UFO is finished! If you remember I had picked 12 different quilt projects that I am challenging myself to finish this year and this was #10.

One of my oldest UFOs

I went back through old blog posts and found out that I started this quilt in 2010, this was before I was an ambassador for Island Batik but I was already loving batiks.

Back of Quilt

I pulled some different blue pieces of batik and sewed them together to make my backing.

Vintage Singer for quilting

I used my 15-91 Vintage Singer sewing machine to do the quilting. Luckily I have a table to the left and one behind to support the weight of a big quilt. It has been some time since I quilted a quilt this big on my Singer.

Icy cold outside

We don’t have any snow but it is sure cold outside!

Railing Quilt

I always enjoy showing a quilt on the stair railing.

February UFO Tomorrow!

Come back tomorrow when I’ll have a video which will show what my February UFO will be and also the winner from January.

Uneven 9 Patch Block Tutorial

I plan on writing a pattern for the quilt but I have quite a few other things to do first.

I know some of you will want to start making these blocks are they are fast and perfect for a charm pack you might have.
