Stacking the Odds Revisited

A couple days ago, I got an urge to revisit a UFO that's been in a shoebox, on a shelf, for a very long time. In fact, I just checked my blog history and discovered that it's been over a year since I began work on Stacking the Odds. I intended to make this quilt for my sister. The reason it got shelved was that it uses templates, which I discovered a severe aversion to via this project.

For whatever reason, the templates don't feel as daunting anymore. Also, the fabric is fabulous (Parson Gray's Curious Nature) and it's a shame to have it all boxed up instead of showcased in a quilt top.

In an effort to provide myself with motivation, completing this quilt top is going to be my August goal for A Lovely Year of Finishes. Wish me luck!
