My UFO update for the week, plans and how the heck do more UFOs happen? I have clue
UFO (UnFinished Object) Friday
Status:
With this heavy travel schedule still going on I've only managed to keep the sew alongs going and I've not been able to work on UFOs or new fun projects. I did get my Traffic jam units out to use to sew as I was making other blocks and it worked great! I got another unit done on the bottom left.
So should I do one more row or 2 rows and another column? how big should I go?

For This Week:
- Back to this goal ... Put binding on at least one quilt that sits in my binding pile
IN THE SPIRIT of being accountable, at the end share a photo of the UFO you are working on at the end and tell me about your UFO accomplishments in the comments!
Discovery!
While sewing the Ultimate Beginner blocks I end up with these fairly large trimmed sew and flip units. They might trim to 2.25" inches.
So I used them to start and stop sewing other patchwork and guess what happened?
I created another UFO!! ACK!!! I have to trim them all, press them, decide what to do with them.. Ugh... but I will do it. Sometimes you need something mindless right?
ULTIMATE Beginners Sew Along Posts
ADD this is back to go ON the RECORD!
When i get back from this trip I'm going to cut the sashings and get this out onto my rolling studio assistant to sew as I make other things. If they are all out I will do it. But stored in a bin i have no chance of it happening.
Do you feel like that?

Recipe:
When fall rolls in I want to bake! I'm a baker at heart and love the smell of something yummy in the oven. I've been a huge fan of Smitten Kitchen for years (see her eggplant recipe, to die for!) and this is another winner from her kitchen.
- I'm featuring books you recommend each week! If you have a book you think we'd love tell me in the comments for next week!
- Karen W. = I Just finished The Gown by Jennifer Robson. It is historical fiction about the women who were the embroiderers of Queen Elizabeth's gown in the 1940's and ties in with family today. Great read!!!
