    Just got my February UFO finished. I made my first block for the Farmers Wife Pony Club Quilt in Feb 2012, but didn't get many more made until March and following. Finished the 65 blocks (of the 90 in the book) in October and making 2 twin-sized quilts out of them. This is my first, the 2nd will have red sashing and I am saving it for later this year.

    Thank you all! I love getting those UFO's done! Yes, that was a very bright strip quilt. I gave it to my SIL, who loves it! Now on to the March UFO!

    Asimplelife, beautiful baby quilts! And, Carriem what a great quilt - that would look perfect on my FIL's bed - in his little studio apartment in the assisted living place! Congratulations on your February finishes! Ding Ding Ding!

    Default My February finished quilt

    I just managed to finish this quilt before the end of February. I was disappointed with it - I had quilted two butterflies into most of the white squares but when I washed the quilt the shrinkage meant that all the quilting became bubbles instead of identifiable butterflies. Oh well, tomorrow's another month!

    Here's the PIG I finished yesterday--Memories of Yosemite. I visited Yosemite National Park last fall with my BFF and her husband. One of the stores had a package of 4 glicee printed reproductions of old postcards, so of course, I had to buy them. When I got home, I went to www.OldeAmericaAntiques.com to find more blocks. I just arranged the blocks, sashed them and this is the result.
    I used 2 Stonehenge fabrics for sashing, backing and binding and a variegated thread to SID around the blocks and highlighted some of the details in the center block. These fabric and thread colors were perfect colors for the blocks.
    I've finished 2 UFOs and this PIG so far this year. Yay! On to the next project now.[ATTACH=CONFIG]398592[/ATTACH]

    Two more very nice finishes!!

    Rose--sorry to hear about the quilting/shrinkage. That's too bad. It is a pretty quilt though.

    Gramajo--I've never seen anything like the postcard one, that is a fun idea. Good sashing/binding fabric choices.
