I need to trim and get the binding on, but so much pain in my left shoulder I don't think I can do it today. Going in for surgery on the shoulder on Tues to replace the joint so will be out of commission for a few weeks. I am sure I can get the rest of the ufo's for the year done after I get my "wing" fixed. Please send lots of positive thoughts my way, I would really appreciate it!!

Unfinished...?
WIP Work in progress
UFO = Unfinished Object
different quilters have different standards for what is which. i call projects WIPs from the time i've started cutting until the top is done. after that, they're UFOs.

Okay, I did it! I finished my first UFO! So glad to have this challenge to encourage me to dig in my UFO pile rather than just starting another top. This pattern is "Fractured Crystal" by Linda Ballard. I saw her present it a few years ago on Simply Quilts and fell in love with it. I taped the show then copied down all the instructions as she presented them. There are a few "oops" (like the border not laying flat becuase I put them on before I knew how to put them on correctly), but I'm still extremely pleased with the result, and it finished!! :-) Now on to the next UFO!
