Well, I just got all out of whack this week, didn't I? I think Fibrofog is warring with Senior Moment for control of my brain. Thanks, Blogless Barbara, for reminding me of my slippances. So here are photos of the UFOs I recently picked up from the quilter. They aren't bound yet, so they aren't busted, but they're close. (Click on photos for larger views.)
"Family Portrait"
Quilted in snowflakes
"Family Portrait" back
Close-up of backing fabric, which I believe I purchased at WalMart several years ago
"Ziggy Zags," a string-pieced cuddle quilt, made from the blocks left over from "Family Portrait"
"Cherry Lasagna" made from a Mary Englebreit jelly roll
"Cherry Lasagna" back
Lena's free-hand cherries
All quilting on the above quilts was expertly done by Lena Colley and the ladies at New Traditions Quilting in Birmingham, Alabama.

Blogless Barbara got her "Summer Rose" quilt bordered. A friend made the center block for Barbara from the book Fresh Cut Flowers by Liz Schmidt and Stephen Seifert. She will applique the leaves where they're pinned.
Sorry it took so many posts to get it all together this week. Maybe I'll do better next Friday. We'll see. Meanwhile, why don't you take a hop over to Beverly's blog for some Pink Saturday prettiness?

Love the family portrait! And the Cherry Lasagna is one of the nicest jelly roll quilts I have ever seen! You've distributed the colors so well!

Hi Susan, I haven't figured out what a UFO is but I LOVE what you shared. HA! I keep seeing this on your posts but I am missing something. I am not a bonafide quilter but I am taking lessons every Friday now. I have made quilts but I still know very little.
Happy Spring to you and yours.
Hugs, Jeanne

Love the quilting designs on your 3 charming quilts, the backings you chose for each, and the various happy fabrics in the border on the cuddle quilt! Your creativity is delightful!!
Thanks for posting my Summer Rose in it's current state. I have quite a few small UnFinished Objects (aka WIP= Works in Progress) that need to be quilted so am about to bravely attempt that. First am making a 9 block Pinwheel quilt for a friend's baby, due in 2 months.
Rainy day here and the dogwoods are in bloom.
Hugs!

Love your UFOs, Barbara! I have so many to do, I can't even seem to bring myself to get started! I hope to make yours be inspirational for me to get with it! Thanks for sharing!
