Would you like to learn how I transformed this UFO

Would you like to learn how I transformed this UFO into TWO small children's quilts? ⁣
⁣
Comment UFO to get a link to my blog post where I show you the steps I took to transform this small group quilt into two children's quilts. ⁣
⁣
And I did it without adding borders....until after the transformation. I think this process has inspired an idea for a new workshop!⁣

I took on the challenge. I transformed a 36 x 32“ top made by a group in South Sarasota MQG. I cut the top into 8 inch squares, added some stash fabric and created two small crib quilts that will be donated to a mother’s charity. I think I will add orders on both of these quilts to make them just a bit larger.
It was really a lot of fun to take the chance and cut the piece into the smaller blocks. It was interesting when I started, and I think the transformation made the pieced blocks a bit more abstract.

❤️💜❤️💜 Tenderly Stitched generously

❤️💜❤️💜 Tenderly Stitched generously gifted me a set of their scrap buster rulers that are great for smaller scrap piecing.

SEW….I gifted them as a giveaway at our Sarasota MQG guild retreat.

One of my guildmates is shown here putting these rulers to great use for piecing smaller blocks!

Check them out @tenderlystitched
