In Quilter's lingo, a UFO is an Un-Finished Object (project).   No More are the Autumn Splendor leaf blocks lying in a cupboard - they now are sewn into a top. 

I'm just going to show a series of images following the process of stumbling along and discovering the organically-inspired solution.

1.  Sashing of red/orange color - an RJR - Jinny Beyer fabric.



2.  Borders
I tried out and rejected borders of various colors from ochre toyellow to orange to the red/orange sashing.  Nothing worked. Then I came across these strips which were rejects from another quilt and gave them a try.



Color combo was perfect, BUT look at the corner - yikes!

3.  Corners




Opal Apple saved the day!  I found a solid fabric that worked great, and in a painter's description the color is cadmium medium yellow with a dab of red undertone.  That is complimented with the same sashing fabric only cut down to fit the scale of the yellow corner, and voila! 









There is something further I may add to the quilt corners:  a Fleur de Lis stamp using copper paint.



Or I may cut a maple leaf stencil and stencil that with copper paint.  All I know is when I look at this quilt hanging on the wall, I feel happy.  UFO No More thanks to Opal Apple.  Have a great Monday!
