UFO Challenge bits & pieces

Thanks to Jo's Challenge to work on UFOs, I've decided to do what I can to make progress on my Un-Finished (quilt-y) Objects ...

My list of nearly-done UFOs was in this post; last week I finished up the Hello Kitty T-Shirt Quilt, and evaluated progress on Hopscotch Butterscotch (see the end of this post).

This week, my bit of UFO progress has been on Hopscotch Butterscotch, from Bonnie Hunter's book  Adventures with Leaders and Enders.

As of last week, all the 4-patch pieces were still just twosies; I'm in the middle of assembling 4-patches now. I've also started putting blocks together, since all the rail units are already done.

I love the "organized scrappy" look that the matching rail units give each block. It's a good thing, since I've got so much random scrappiness going on.

I'm enjoying the chance to use up a ton of fun, colorful scraps in this quilt, as well as in the Happily Scrappily Irish quilt that I started earlier this week - I'll be posting about that one in a day or two.

I'm linking this post to today's UFO Challenge update at Jo's Country Junction ... It's fun to see what others are stitching up and blogging about this week!
