My day for FNSI hosted by Wendy started with a ufo from a few years back.
I thought i'd be chain piecing 2-1/2 squares for it but when i opened the tin I was using for storage i found it was quite full of squares already pieced together. :) The original pattern i'm following is a square quilt but i wanted it rectangle. I had to unpick what i'd sewed of the quilt to get a rectangle shape. I manged to add 3 rows each side, 4 top & bottom then the grey borders before it was time to stop. As i'm winging it i need to work out how many rows to add to get it to a decent single bed size.
Or maybe i should quit while i'm a head & turn this into a lap quilt & just make the square quilt .lol. Not like i don't have enough scraps to cut out more 2-1/2" squares. I've plenty of the gray fabric to start again.
Night time saw me stitching the 6th of the 10 stitcheries i needed to redo.
Pop over to Wendy's blog for links to who joined in.
Happy Stitching,

Its looking great Jeanette - I like the rectangle shape. Your stitchery is very cute so far ... you always seem to achieve lots.
Love your quilt - it would look great with some more squares in another border... xx
I prefer rectangle quilts but I think if I was you I’d just keep this one as it is…
You always do lovely stitcheries.
the scrappy quilt is looking good...my vote is to keep going for another round! Great stitching with you on Friday....

Your scrapper is looking good, keep on going with it.
You're making great progress on the restitching too. Over half of them done now.
Love a good scrap busting quilt. Well done.
My vote is keep going on the scrappy quilt for a bed-sized ... since you have enough gray fabric and scraps. It looks really neat!
The scrappy quilt looks great! Love your stitchery :) xx
If you're not feeling it, I'd add a border and call it good. The scrappy quilt is cute though.
I vote for keep on making blocks to get that quilt a nice bed-sized quilt. Then you can go on to make a lap sized one. After all you have plenty of scraps, right? *wink*
