Good Morning Quilters!
Well, I looked at the two UFOs that I pulled out, and I made progress on one of them, while I’m still thinking about the second one. Here is the progress:
The UFO is a kit, Collection for a Cause - Faith, pictured here:
I sorted all the fabrics, read all the directions, and looked at what was done previously. The medallion style starts n the middle, and I added the hourglass blocks around the center part. The star and pink and tan pieces were assembled before, and also the hourglass blocks were made previously.
Then I made a lot of flying geese for the next round. Here they are on my “floor design wall” waiting to be sewn together around the center. They are not sewn, just put there, overlapping each other as I work on them.
While making the flying geese, I realized I could substitute 20 of the six inch finished size blocks from the other UFO into this UFO, and eliminate making two rounds of the medallion. Win-win! So that is where it is at this point - on the floor because the design wall has the Jane Stickle quilt blocks on it. What do you think about the substitution?
Here is a closeup picture of the three…..they are each so cute! it is a treat to finish one block, and then add it to the wall.
What are you working on this week? Or should I say, what are you playing with this week? Please join our Design Wall Monday Linky Party below, so we can join in your fun. Thank you all for participating. I enjoy reading your blogs and looking at your quilts.

I think the substituted blocks look very nice, a perfect solution! Love those indigo fabrics, happy stitching!
Bravo on the substitute blocks! It makes the quilt that much more interesting!!!
I had to scroll back and forth to see what the difference was between the original and yours. I think those blocks work really well there. Are you thinking of adding more on the outside of them? Decisions, decisions. I'm not great with long term projects! I want it done asap! Or so it seems to me. Have a quilty week.
I like the substitute blocks. What does this do to the plan for the quilt you'd be taking these blocks from?
oh wow - what an amazing medallion quilt - those colors - love!! and yay for substituting the blocks!!!
Yes! The alternate blocks are perfect. It will be a beautiful quilt.
