Let's start with this fairly recent scrap quilt:
I pulled out all my green, red and gold strips and started sewing them together and cutting them into blocks. Then I stopped. And there it sits.
Next up, this simple, yet striking quilt:
One time when I was sick and stuck in bed, I decided to pull out all my red scraps and cut them into 2 inch squares. I sewed them into nine patches and thought I would put some sort of redwork block between them. Then I got to thinking about it, and decided that redwork seems like a mindnumbingly dull thing to do. One color? Oh, come on. Now, I have a vague idea about doing an applique border. It's too vague to actually do it just yet.
Speaking of vague ideas about applique borders, let's talk about this quilt:
A lovely woman named Gudrun who is a member of the quilt guild I used to belong to gave me her "waste triangles." (There's that term again; waste my ass!) Look at this lovely quilt. Again, I have an idea about an applique border. Someday. Some fine day.
Finally, the most glaringly obvious UFO in my house. To "break" it up a little (that's a hilarious pun, if you haven't scrolled down yet), I thought I'd step away from the quilts. This, my friends, is the focal point of my home, the ungrouted fireplace:
I'm pretty sure I'll grout it someday. The problem is, it looks darn good ungrouted so there's not a lot to motivate me, especially since it promises to be a beast of a job. Here's a bit of detail for you:
So, there we go, another UFO Tuesday under our belts. There's still more.
Seacrest, out.

Sarah I think the fireplace looks great ungrouted! I vote to spend the time on something else...like starting a new project!
