UFO busting - Seeing Spots!
I am not even sure when this little quilt was started. I know I had access to an Accuquilt machine at a local sewday. I cut out the circles and fusible circles too. I got home and started using some fancy stitches on my sewing machine to go around the edges. I also remember taking them to a sew day at our county fair to sew on while being in the Quilts for Kids booth. The year? I am not sure.
I am pretty sure this quilt did not want to be finished. I found the blocks when looking for materials to make masks out of.
I thought, I can sew this up quickly. I did, and then I pressed it and then had to sew the whole thing again because my antique iron melted the thread in about 75% of it. Yes melted. I could see the thread go from shiny to dull and then I rubbed it. The thread actually came up from one side like tiny beads on a strand. So very odd. I have used that thread since and the same iron and nothing??
My sewing room in disaster mode!!! ha
Anyway, to be safe I sewed it again and quilted it with a different machine. I am not sure I should give this one to QFKs incase? also it is stiffer since using fusible behind the whole circles. Still I love how happy this is.

My backing is really not the right color orange but who could resist not to use it for this quilt.
