Desert Sky

After taking this Judy Niemeyer, Desert Sky, class a few months ago, I knew I had to add this quilt to the UFO list or I would avoid getting back to it.  I seem to always send the "techniquey" projects to the "to do later" pile!  I'm so happy to have it completed!!!

The original pattern was pretty small and I really wanted to build it up to at least a throw size (without having to paper piece any more of those curve blocks).  I added the 2 yellow borders and the outer mottled batik to create a little extra length and width.

UFO Goals - November

The Desert Sky top is ready to be quilted, so that's going to be top priority this month!

I'd like to make at least one baby quilt to donate for Soldier Babies.

When those are done, 4-Patch Revisited will take center stage because it would be nice to at least have that top done when Bonnie Hunter releases her first clues for this year's mystery, Allietare!
