2024 UFO Grand Prize Entries

This is Virginia's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
"My boy, Lollipop" is her first quilt made outside of a class (and both Thomas and QP think she nailed it)! Scrappy binding from coordinating 5" strips adds the perfect finishing touch.
Well done, Virginia!

This is Susanne's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
"Sticks and Stones" is a gift for her mom as she settles into her new home.
Cozy Fireside backing and lovely lavender binding up the warmth factor of this beautiful housewarming present!
Well done, Susanne!

This is Virginia's second entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!?
Her quilt, titled "Sugar Maple", was created in our Quilting II sampler class with Anne Blades. Her palette of blues, creams, and reds works beautifully together - we'd say she completed the class with flying colours!

This is Beth's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
How awesome is this Japanese Lanterns quilt? We love the fabrics she chose for the blocks, and her cherry blossom-pink background is the perfect shade to tie it all together. Seeing it really lit up our day!

This is my fourth #patchworkduffle, but the first one that actually got binding... ???? thanks to @quilty_pleasures and their challenge.
Project #1 for the #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge is quilted and bound!

As always, found the perfect binding fabric this week @quilty_pleasures. You can never go wrong with a stripe.
This is my second finish for #ufospottedatquiltypleasures. But I'm just sharing a sneak peek for today until it's gifted.

And she is done! I started the Up North quilt in April and was not sure when it would be completed.
But with @quilty_pleasures incentives I did it!

This is my first entry for the 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures .
And I added hand stitches and a fun bunting (a very original idea from Sheilagh layitonmebaby )!
Fabrics for the camper is a mix of Northcott colors from Quilty Pleasures. ??

"Orange" is sweet and to the point -
half-square triangles with turquoise, blue, and green accents are a fresh and fun way to showcase Kaffe fabrics. Beautifully done, Beth!

This is Barb's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
Her hand-pieced, hand-quilted Circle Game is a sight to behold. Curved piecing in bold colours are striking, while the inclusion of novelty prints adds to the quilt's playful feel. It's all round ahead of the curve!

This is Virginia's third entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
This quilt, titled "Sandy Lake Picnic", was started in a class she took with Val. She experimented with new techniques, using a narrow-edge foot to quilt it and EQ Printables to create a personalized label with a photo of her siblings on a picnic - the perfect finishing touch for a quilt that will be gifted to her oldest brother!

My New Star Quilt, for my 2nd entry to the 2024 #ufospottedatquiltypleasures, is completed!
I started this project at the beginning of April 2024, loving the Starry colors, with the quilt along #newstarquilt ... But I was not so sure I'd like it after having pieced seven of the nine squares I had planned. It just seemed too colourful or too extreme...
Mid June, I stopped by @quilty_pleasures to show my fist completed UFO and pick up some thread and batting for the second UFO project.

When I showed the picture of [seven of the] squares one of the employees, Kimberley told me it looked good,... like the inspiring sample the designer Kristen, @woollypetals had done.
And that was all I needed to get going again. I am so glad I did. I find these colors so cheery and summery. Clo

This is Lynn's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
Her Scrappy Log Cabin is richly accented with red, blue, and gold and beautifully contrasted with cream background fabrics. Amazing work, Lynn!

This is Estelle's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
Her Dreamy Dan is especially dreamy considering it was made for a dear friend who recently returned from a trip to Mexico. Cocktail umbrellas add a bit of fun to the border (and bring to mind sips of delicious daiquiris) and crocodile backing makes sure Flamingo Dan stays in line while enjoying some fun in the sun! Fabulous work, Estelle!

There's something about "Time After Time" that has captivated us. Could it be the classic combo of teals and golds? The awesome curved piecing? Or the Kokopelli prints? Any of these reasons make this quilt timeless - it's stunning, Beth!

This January 2024 Merry Mayhem quilt in blues, purples, and mint green is a beauty, and her choice of border is perfection. "Mayhem" may be in the designer's name but this quilt is anything but chaotic. Great work, Susanne!

We're flipping out over these Flip Out bags! Not only are they pleasing to the eye, they're perfect for keeping the on-the-go quilter organized. Flipping brilliant, Lynn!

This is Joanne's first entry in 2024's #ufospottedatquiltypleasures challenge!
Not only is her Canada 150 a celebration of this amazing country, it's also a celebration of the patience and skill needed to do all that fusible applique! It's absolutely stunning and a wonderful tribute to the land we call home. Kudos, Joanne!

My #sweettreatquilt is done just in time for summer's end. ????
Got this bundle of fabric as a birthday gift, so I couldn't help but add a little @sarahhearts cupcake label on it.

Thank you @quilty_pleasures for the added motivation with #ufospottedatquiltypleasures - here's my third finish!

We spy a delightfully polka-dotted I Spy quilt that is sure to delight anyone snuggling up under it. A feast for the eyes (and Where's Waldo aficionados everywhere) - well done, Kelly!

Her Coconut Chips quilt uses pretty florals in mint, pink, and gold for a feminine look, while alpacas add a touch of whimsy. Wonderful job, Susan!
