June 2026 UFO
It is time for the June 2026 UFO challenge, I can’t believe we are already to June, this year is just flying by!
My May UFO
My UFO for May was a group of 6-inch wide Christmas fabrics that I wasn’t sure what I would do with. Last week I finally decided to make granny square blocks with them.
I cut the 6-inch strips into 3-inch strips and then sub cut that into 3-inch squares. I added a red batik for the centers, I often mix batiks and regular quilting fabrics.
I have a Granny Square tutorial for blocks that are half this size.
A Quilt Top
Over the weekend I finished putting the granny squares together with sashing but I didn’t get it quilted.
Binding
I had enough fabric that I could have made the quilt a little bigger but I decided I wanted to use some of the fabrics for the binding. I hope to get it quilted this month.
UFO #9
I made a quick little video showing which number was picked for June. I was really tickled with the number that was picked.

About Connie
Hi, I’m Connie Kresin Campbell, the quilter, writer, and photographer behind Freemotion By the River. I enjoy inspiring others with my quilt tutorials and patterns. You’ll also see my sweet adopted dogs from time to time.
Be sure and subscribe to my newsletter for more free tutorials and printables.
My June 2026 challenge is not my original #9 — which was hand sewing a sleeve holder onto two quilts — too easy and I completed a few months ago. This top has been in my que for awhile, so not a part of the drawing this month, but to keep my momentum going.
Do we have a linky party for this month’s UFO? (June)
Connie, I am happy that Orange is the color this month. I have just made a Dresden wreath which is to be part of a bed sized quilt. My
Hungarian Vizsla says “Hi” to Rusty.
The Granny quilt turned out so cute. I think you’d be good using that other than Christmas. My dogs are a lot like Rusty. What? A bunny? Where???? Don’t see it! lol
I think so too Mary, I prefer bright red and green for Christmas. I’m glad we have peaceful dogs.
