Love the quilt playswithcolor. It is so colorful and cheery.

Not finishing up my UFO's, but I'm sewing christmas projects for the QB. I'll go back to my UFO's when these projects are done. My sister's doll quilt and a tee shirt quilt.

SandyinZ64, I did get it done. The trees were all different types and I just winged it with what I had left. Not much left of scraps of background so turned out looking even more scrappy. It is in the quilting pile now. Will get done this year just so I can count it finished. I also completed a half hexi baby quilt top that was cut two years ago. Took the leftovers I cut from it and made another one. Then found some really old looney tune babies and made another one with those that were left to be finished. Then found a wall hanging that needed done, UFO from three years ago, almost done. All these are waiting to be quilted. Ugh!

Playswithcolor, I love your finished top. So bright and cheery.

Quiltermomma, you are a finishing machine. I've seen you complete 120 UFO's in a year. So, I have no doubt that you will finish what you set your mind to.

I have gone through my list and not only have I NOT finished anything again this year, I have started more. So, I guess I really really need to join you ladies here next year. So, I will continue to look for your finishes this year and I will check back to sign up and join you next year. I think I have enough batting to finish at least 6 quilts. So, I should really get started on finishing.

you are helping me not make UFO's. It's finish one start 3. Hum, that doesn't sound right does it? Well I'm not putting them away in dark corners so they get fruitful and multiply. Hope the holidays keep you all happy.

Just an update...I am still going through the previous pages but the official count of finished and completed UFO's as of page 20 (post # 200) is...68!!! Will keep counting and give you another count in next few days. Looks like this is going to be a good year for lowering the UFO count!

Isn't 19 a prime number? I'm so confused.

If the count continues at that rate we might have somewhere near 200 finished. Wouldn't that be cool?

I finished the woven placemat that was dragging along but it's no quilt. 18 by 13.

Hi everyone...Just another update on the count. I have been going through all the pages one at a time and counting each finished ufo. Items like place mats and mug rugs, I count individually...hey they still count as a finished project. :-) So...through page 40..the count is now up to....122. (68 + 55) finished UFO's. My life is always busy, like so many of yours are too that I haven't spent as much time here as I would have liked. But I will keep counting and give you another update in a week or so..when I can gt more pages counted. :-)I can tell holidays are here because finishes are slowing down.
