I love the Tiara block, border, and corner motifs. With the quilting in a variegated purple thread. Once I have the binding in place I will share Kurry's full view. Until then there is some stitching to do, all 297" of it!

UFO Finishes #3, #9, #5, and #1, April 1, 2017
I sure haven't been successful posting my UFO finishes on Patchwork Times before the link up closes. Some of this has to do with getting them finished during the appointed month. So this post catches up. All these are waiting their turn at Kerry's Quilting.

UFO Completion, March 24, 2017

From there it sat for how to arrange the blocks into a setting. My friend Shelly came up with the setting block idea. It was ready for my 2017 UFO project list. This month it was called to complete...Kourageous was finally going to be a reality. Fabric choice for the setting blocks and border #2 were a big consideration because I wanted to keep the flowers the focus. After all when each block had an average of 100 pieces emphasis to them was foremost. As Janet O commented the setting blocks have a glow to them... Perfect I accomplished my idea =^.^=
The flower, designer, 2011 UFO month, and how many pieces.

The setting block is Wild Goose Chase and it has 57 pieces. It sure was delightful to have the last three borders be solid pieces! I have enough of the black animal theme background to use for the binding or maybe it will be just a solid black. It is off for quilting tomorrow. Kerry will come up with something grand I am positive.

I'm looking for opinions on the borders for Kourageous...
This is the solid piece 2nd border. What you see are the unfinished measurements. It would be skinnier when sewn together. The finished size will make it closer to the measurement of the finished units in the setting blocks.
This border option would finish:
Border 1 = 1.5"
Border 2 = .75"
Border 3 = 2"
The one below is the pieced HST 2nd border. Again you see unfinished measurements. The HSTs would finish at 1.5" that is the same size as the corner HSTs in the setting blocks. I would make these units similar in color as the few I've sewn together. The white three are really a very pale green (the lighting not so good).
This border option would finish:
Border 1 = 1.5"
Border 2 = 1.5"
Border 3 = 2"
I think once the HSTs are seen at the finished size they will look very different. Can you picture them being the same size as the setting blocks HST corners? I could also change the orientation of the HSTs with the black towards the center. Didn't think of this when taking the photos urgh!
So what do you think...

These are just a couple of close ups. Next up deciding on a border. My friend suggested the one below. I tried to look at it with the fabrics "not cut". The spacing isn't exactly correct, but a good idea can be realized.
I'd like to try something a bit more pieced. So I went to a Bloc Loc Border Book picked up at Road to California Quilt Show this past January. I really like Rocket to the Moon. It is the top quilt layout that has me excited. I did a couple of blocks to see how it might look. More would need to be sewn before I can tell. I am thinking at the moment that the scale is off. Opinions?
Of course there is always just a single green border, but this just isn't my style =^.^=
The design wall is still a design wall...right? See other projects through the links at Patchwork Times.

So now on to March UFO. These are all the throwaways from just one of the setting blocks. I'm having a debate on the greens to use. I want the flowers to be what strikes; so I am hoping to down play the setting blocks.

Happy Wednesday!
Besides working on the Christmas dinner menu for seven (possibly more) family members; I have been considering my 2017 UFO projects. It is true that the last 2016 UFO, Kozy Korners, is yet to be started :(! I have identified eight projects so far and all of them are true UFOs. The remaining four will be starting from a pattern. I did purchase a few new designs as well as couple gifted during the year that will end up being #9, #10, #11, and #12 =^.^=
This is 2017 UFOs List so far:
#1 Kourtepointe. En Provence, Bonnie Hunter's 2016 Winter Mystery - in work
Quiltvillians are working on Part 4 or eagerly awaiting Part 5 at the moment. A "K" name needs to be decided.
#2 Kanton Kull, A Prairie Gathering - in work
At the start of Part 4.
#3 Kastaway, Catnip Trip - in work
At the machine applique stage of the hot air balloon.
#4 Konstitution, Union Blues - in work
At the start of Part 6.
#5 Kourageous - in work
My friend Shelly designed a setting. All ready now to put the blocks together.
#6 Quilt Square Quilt Along, Jo's Country Junction - in work
Need to decide on a setting for this project. All blocks are finished. A "K" name needs to be decided.
#7 Kilimanjaro. Scrappy Mountain Majesty - in work
Put this down when 2016 UFOs demanded my attention. I will be using HST Swap for this project. Need to stitch more blocks.
#8 Kutarug, Winning Combination - in work
Put this down when 2016 UFOs demanded my attention. Need to stitch more blocks.
There will be more on the building of this list to come.

Design Wall Monday, February 29, 2016
Today is truly a Design Wall Monday! My wall is full of Kaffe Kisses... I have yet to decide on an arrangement but all the units are sewn. The next step is deciding on the arrangement then continuing with the sewing. There is still trimming involved too.
I found the tool you see excellent for lining up the edges for the curve seams of Step 9 in the process.
As mentioned yesterday here is where I am with the many "in work" projects that grace my sewing room. Are you ready?

Feel free to help me with a few "K" names... Kourageous is the dusty one with Quilt Square Quilt Along right behind. Patchwork of the Crosses will probably be last to finish. All the rest are fairly new with another new one starting on Tuesday. March UFO is soon to be named in 52Quilts lottery. See more great projects today through the links at Patchwork Times. Happy Leap Year Day =^.^=
