Thanks for the great ideas. I did not measure as I went. I just sewed the sashing on and then cut it off at the end. Oops! I will take off some of the sashing and either measure and then put back on or add cornerstones. I like the idea of puffy batting too.

i saw this quilt on the board here and just used my squares.

Finally managed to complete my first UFO for 2014. This is a quilt my husband wanted me to make for him. He actually sat down with a stack of magazines and picked the pattern himself. Then he went through my batik stash and picked out the fabric for it. He was so anxious to use it that I didn't get a photo until after it was washed. Now on to the next quilt on my list......1 down, 11 more to go!

What an amazing quilt! Not even to mention your supportive, interested husband.

Rita, that's a fantastic quilt. I can see why the DH was anxious to have it finished. Love the circle quilting.

Rita, Your DH has a great eye for fabric selection! Maybe soon you can have him cutting and sewing up his own quilts!!

Rita - the quilt you made for DH after his choice of pattern and fabric is great. You are fortunate to have such a neat guy! (I have one, too) Look forward to seeing more of what you do. Ladies, this is my year for doing UFO's, too but FIRST, I have to get quilt done for granddaughter who graduates in May and I have just barely begun it so when it is done...then it will be on to UFO's. I have several tops that just need borders, batting and quilting. If I don't buy any fabric this year, I can use money to pay LA quilter for a t least a couple of them...fingers crossed!

Two quilts finished in Dec. Both had been laying around for many years. I am so glad to have them done. the one Under Ground Rail Road (Quilt In a Day) was probably started 10 years ago. My daughter is thrilled to finally have her quilt. The paisley one I started probably about 7 years ago. I made the top in no time but due to size, 10 ftx10 ft, never got to quilting it. I gifted it to DH for Christmas. All where quilted free style by me.

Miss Rita-what a great quilt! Must have been so fun to cooperate with your husband on this treasure.

Anna-two great finishes! And big ones, too! Keep going back to the second one..can't take my eyes off of it!
