Nuclear Knits: Where knitting is the bomb!

Guess what I finished - yep - the top of the Leafy Quilt. It took me most of the weekend to assemble but I'm in love with how it finished. I started it in 2002 and finished it in 2011 (how crazy is that?) I could have finished it much faster if I only made an effort to do it. It came out Queen size and will be just the perfect gift once it is finished. This will go to the quilters in a few weeks and then I'll just have to do the binding!

I my attempt to finish up WIP and dominate all UFOs in my house I pulled the leaf quilt back out. I finished 99% of the curved parts and started assembling the blocks. Each block is suppose to have a steam near the leaf. The first three I did following the instructions and I hated how it cam out. So, I pulled the steams and am just going with the leafs. I'm sure I wont finish this up any time soon - but at least I'm making slow progress.

In my UFO Domination plan for 2011 I HAVE TO FINISH THIS QUILT. I know. Say it loud and it is sure to happen. But, that is what I'm hoping for. I have all the pieces cut out and am 1/2 through piecing the first bit of the leafs together. Once each half is finished then I will put them together and add stems. Then I can put the whole quilt together. Sounds like a lot I know - but shouldn't be too bad. My goal for this project is to piece the blocks little by little during the week. I hope to have the whole thing pieced in the next two weeks. It will be a queen size quilt once it is finished.
