Work in progress update - Gathering Flowers quilt

Interesting question....WIP versus UFO?  That was the topic on April 30/2021 by Yvonne @QuiltingJetgirl.  Discussion is at: hhtps://quiltingjetgirl.com/2021/04/20/wip-versus-ufo-discussion/  

I have to say that the consensus in the comments were relatively the same, though the perspective of whether you call your project a WIP or a UFO is more individual.  It's a personal opinion and as Liz wrote, "based on intention".  Liz also wrote that classifying something as a UFO, is like admitting that it will probably never get finished.  I liked her definition....lol.

I used to have a "UFO" list and sometime in either 2022 or 2023, I started calling my list "Quilt Progress", which is another word for Work in Progress.  It has a more positive spin on the list itself.  If it is on my list, it means I have "intentions" of finishing it.  

My oldest work in progress is the Gathering Flowers Applique quilt.  I started this back in May/2011, prior to starting this blog!  I don't call it a UFO, because from time to time, it does come out to play.

I finished two blocks in Aug-Sept/2019, three blocks from Jan-Mar/2020, one in Oct/2024 and two recently in July/2025.  Some of the previous posts were from Jan 14-Mar 16/2019.  I posted about the last two finished blocks recently on Aug 6/2025, but searching my blog achieves, made me realize that I didn't show any of the previously finished blocks or if I did, I couldn't find them.  So let's do an update.

Centre double rose with swirling branches, source unknown, completed Feb/2020:

Distelfink (Good luck bird, my version), Inspired by Tradition by Kay MacKenzie pg.18, completed Oct/2024

Plus the last two completed blocks that I recently posted about on Aug 6/2025 called Handwork progress on my Gathering Flowers quilt.  There are 12 more blocks to complete, so it will be a while, but I will try to be a bit more regular with posting about my progress.

Take care everyone and don't forget to take some time for yourself!
