Two finishes for September. Both of them are UFOs! I must be liking easy and square pieces!

Here are the questions I had before I started serging this quilt together and the answers to those questions:
Amy, from “Amy’s Creative Side” is once again hosting a Quilt Festival. It is worth going to take a look at all of the quilts entered. Lots of eye candy! Click HERE. And, there are prizes … you don’t have to be a blogger, you can enter via Instagram … check out the directions for entering a quilt. Here is my first quilt entry:
So, this quilt has been gifted … and I got a picture back with my newest great-nephew, Gage, and the quilt. He was born in late August. From his pictures, he’s a real cutie!
I used a Dr. Seuss layer cake along with “Slate Grey” solid from Free Spirit. It was a fun quilt to make. Probably because I LOVE Dr. Seuss!
The back of the blocks are very neat and tidy! (Ignore the stray threads that hopped onto the block when I took the picture!)
Yes, I’m going to attempt this. The pattern is Wonky Logs. It’s a free pattern by Custom Kwilts.
The pattern calls for 12 fat quarters … but I discovered that I can get away with using 6. First, I used paper scissors to cut out the templates. Then I laid them out on the fabric. This picture shows the background fabric – all 6 layers of it. (I cut 3 pieces, each 17 ½” long, and then layered them. You can see the pins holding the templates in place. If you’re not comfortable cutting through 6 layers of fabric, then make it 3 layers or 2 layers.
I thought I’d be just showing a picture of this quilt in progress, as I wasn’t sure I’d have time to get it finished by today. It’s a little quilt made with 6 ½” flannel squares. A great flannel stash buster of left-over baby quilt backings. This is a UFO … and it’s finished! YEAH! I just did a big serpentine stitch along the seams and diagonally … mindless and easy to do.
I have 3 August finishes. The quilt and the little zipper bag. I cannot show you the secret quilt because it has not been gifted. However, it is finished!!
