Urban Windows Quilt

Sometimes it is so satisfying to dig out an old unfinished project, one that hasn't seen the light of day for months, and actually turn it into a finished project.  This is the case with my last finish.  Ever since starting WiP Wednesday, over at Freshly Pieced (go check it out!), a few weeks ago, I have felt overwhelmed with all my works in progress.  I often find myself jumping at the gate to cut into new fabric and start a new project, that I fall short somewhere shortly after.  That being said, I decided for every new project I start, I want to finish one UFO.  Ugh!  At that pace maybe sometime in 2011 I will get caught up! :)  Oh well!  Holding true to my word, that is just what I did last week.  I took some blocks I had started a while ago (I can honestly say I have no idea how long it has been) and decided to scrap the original plan and come up with something new.  

And so........with a little trim here and there, some Kona Cotton Solid (when in doubt, go with grey!), and some sashing........I ended up with this.

I actually love it!  Way more than I thought I was going to when I first pulled the blocks out of that UFO tub last week.  It has motivated me to dig out some more unfinished projects and see what else I have hiding!  

Now all this quilt needs is to be basted, quilted, and bound.  I am leaning towards straight line quilting in the gray sashing.  Any thoughts?  


And the best part, this finish means I can start a new project! :)
