What a productive weekend! I can't believe that I finished a UFO from He double hockey sticks (as my mother would say). This object was started on my old sewing machine and after breaking many needles (I stopped counting after 4), I put it away and hence another UFO was born.
But lo and behold, those UFO's will eventually get destroyed or finished. This was half way into the garbage can when I thought to give it another try on my new machine. I'm both sad and glad that I did.
I know that people will say don't be so hard on yourself Bonni. They are right. In this case though it is deserved. I might do another one with the new machine because I know it will be much better. There is one big mistake but I wasn't going to disassemble the whole wall hanging to fix it. The next one will be done on a better machine and I've learned more and am more confident in my quilting so it will be better. This was a learning experience so it can be shown complete with errors.
I also put on the second border for the Sudoku Quilt.
Now all I have to do is figure out what to use for binding and the backing. The backing can be a tone on tone white if I don't find anything else. Binding can be white if nothing else. This will be going on a wall so it won't get much use or washed often.
I also worked more on my cross stitch block (1 of 18) and also on the house block that I need to finish and get sent off. All in all, it was a productive craft day...not so much cleaning day or anything else (except laundry).
Everybody have a great day/night.

I like both of your quilts. No mistake there - just a unique quilt. Blessings, Bonni.
