I have come to the realization that the primary reason I have so many stubborn UFOs hanging around is because I have ceased to like them. It's hard to devote the time to finishing something you really don't care about. I first blogged about my black/white/red quilt back in March of 2010.
First I decided the red batik I chose for the sashes and border had too much black in it. Then I thought that the stripes looked boring. In an effort to save the project and avoid wasting the fabric, I bought a brighter red batik. Then I decided to take the strips apart and turn them into 4 patch blocks. Today, I completed the top and like the results. When it's finished, it will be traveling to Romania as part of the Hands 2 Help Challenge. The colors are more vibrant in person, but it was too gloomy outside to take pictures today.

I still have lots of strips left over to make another quilt with.
