My UFO #9 did not quite make my completed list for May, but it is close. The pattern is from Bonnie Hunter called Cathedral Stars and my finished quilt top measures 64" x 76". I think I started the quilt last fall, got the blocks assembled and for whatever reason put the quilt aside. Last week with the end of the month coming near I finally pulled the blocks out and got the quilt assembled. Bought the backing fabric last week at Hancocks on sale - the fabric for the back is black and white (reads more black) and the binding color is black.
I pieced the batting together which was leftover from a few different quilts. In fact I have done that on most of my quilts this year, had so many pieces leftover and cut off of other quilts I spent one day stitching them together to make them usable again.
The quilt is on the frame and ready to be quilted, unfortunately I will not be able to quilt it all at one time - work is going to get in the way (as usual).
I have not decided yet on the panto but the thread is a variegated thread from Signature called 'Summery Fun'.
For sure this one will hit my June Completion List - hopefully JudyL will be kind and pick an easy UFO for June.

A Bonnie Hunter quilt is always a challenge - so many pieces, and your Catherdral Stars quilt is beautiful. Lovely finish. JudyCnNC
