Working on my UFO's!
 

This is going to be the year to finish up projects that have been languishing! The black Applique is now complete! Started in 1998! When I started pulling projects to get organized, I found this sweet piece hiding....happy it's out in the open again! :) there is quite a bit of FMQ in the black....can't see a stitch of it in the pic! The applique was done by hand-I think my skills have improved in the last 15 years! :)
The snowman quilt was a free BOM by Ann Sutton, Snow Happy Hearts. Was fun and easy to keep up with the blocks. I struggled a bit with the final layout (most used theirs as sweet ornaments) but I am happy with it. Now for that final pesky step "quilt as desired"!
I have several more projects waiting their turn....shame on me!

Lovely stitching!

Congratulations on getting two UFOs done! I am still trying to finish up two Xmas gifts and it is already Jan 5th!

Both projects are beautiful. I especially like the snowmen in the hearts.

those are great

Great projects and no longer UFO's!:thumbup:

These are two gorgeous pieces. Glad you took them from the UFO pile and now are completed projects!!

Go, Jill, go. Very nice and congratulations on finishing some UFOs. Good feeling.

You've been very productive right at the beginning of the New Year! Both projects are beautiful!

Great start! Love the snowmen, my goal was to finish one before starting something new...then I started looking around and grabbed a new pattern for a sweatshirt jacket! My goal lasted about five minutes!

Those are all so pretty!!! Lovely work on your applique. Like the little snowman with OSU.
My DGD is a senior this year.

they are so cute and love how you set them too!

Great job! Love the black one.

I'm proud of you for finishing these...........well worth your time..... pretty

Congrats on knocking a few of the UFOs out! I am a member of that shame on me club. I will be a member for a long time coming!!

Two UFOs done! Outstanding!

Very nicely done

Love both projects. Congrats on getting done:)

Very pretty work.

Was this machine or Hand appliqued?

Jillmc...you should sign up for the UFO challenge for 2016. I know everyone would love seeing your pictures plus it would boost the count up so we can beat last year's record. Here is the link.

Congratulations on finishing some projects! They were worth waiting for!

It feels so good to get UFOs finished. Yours are lovely.

Sweet finishes! I too am committing to working on ufo's in 2016. You're off to a great start!

love them all especially the snowmen :)

Love, love, love both but black quilt is especially powerful. Beautiful work in all these

what beautiful colors.

These are both lovely projects - love that applique piece, and your snowmen on hearts are just charming too. Thanks for sharing and good luck finishing your UFOs. (I'm planning on doing some of that myself this year.)

:thumbup: good luck in finishing your UFOs-- I have to finish my current quilting bee projects (and ones planned for the year) before I can get to my own --but that is a great resolution for the new year!!

Those are really nice. I have also dedicated 2016 as my year to clean up UFO's

Mice work, I love the hearts.

Such precious snowmen! And, I love your applique on black! Thank you for sharing!

Your work is beautiful. Good job.

How cute! Finish is a great word! Good luck with moving items from undone to done!

You are off to a good start! Allpeoplequilt.com has a 2016 UFO challenge. You can download and print the project page to keep you organized. Good luck!

Congrats on your two wonderful finishes. So cute, even after the years of mellowing!

Lovely quilts, glad you found these UFOs.
