TaDa!!! Finally a finish. Actually two. The first is Grand Illusion. I had a visceral dislike of this pattern so the almost completed top has sat in a cabinet for three years. In my quest to finish UFOs, I got it out, added a top and bottom border to make it a rectangle and put it on the Bailey last week. Just finished the sashing today.
The second is Tiddlewinks, one of my favourite scrappy patterns. I finished the top last year and it was in my "to be finished" pile and I finally quilted it last week and finished binding it today. Both of these are charity quilts.
I have seven more that I have quilted but need binding, so hopefully I'll have two or three more by the end of the month.
ETA: I didn't see the mistake in the Tiddlewinks until I posted this picture. Can't see the forest due to the trees!

Great job, Belfrybat!! I have heard that the Amish will make sure they insert an error into their quilts to show that only God is perfect, and I always joke that I don't have to make an effort to insert an error!! (I have since learned that the story is a myth, but I still think of it when I mess up.)

Belfrybat, I remember how much you disliked Grand Illusion. Congrats on finishing it! I love what you did with the border, and love your Tiddlewinks! (I'm not sure what the error is, so it must not be very obvious.)

A small wall hanging to add to the UFO totals. I had a tie challenge a few years back and started this block. The brown and blue fabrics are from real ties taken apart. Don't have a clue what I will do with the WH. I guess it will hang out in my closet until someone decides they want it. [ATTACH=CONFIG]568659[/ATTACH]Anyway it's done.

Congratulations, Belfrybat! These are both colorful and beautiful and you certainly earned bonus points for finishing Grand Illusion despite disliking it so much. Toot, Toot. Great work.
