2 more finished. Big block pattern, I can't even remember when I did this. Needed to be quilted and binding. This one I did sew the binding on by machine, a cheat for me. The other is one of last year's Boomerang swaps, needed the binding sewn on and then hand sewing the binding.[ATTACH=CONFIG]546546[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]546547[/ATTACH]

Way to go Jaba, congratulations on you two new finishes.

Don't think I will have any more before the end of the month. However, I should have two done the very first part of April, and the King size one I have been talking about will be one of them. I just finished quilting it, now to get the binding on.

love all the finishes, they are keeping me motivated. I restarted the victorian crazy quilt but i'm giving myself 3.5 years to do that before it even becomes a UFO so plenty of time yet.

Wow Jaba! You are on a roll! I like the use of fabrics that read as solid with the printed ones on the big block quilt and the texture you got with the quilting on the 2nd quilt is wonderful.

I won't have any more finishes this month since I have spent the last 2 days rewarding myself for getting my show hung by starting a quilt that will: a. help use up some of my scraps. b. encourage me to be more careful with my piecing (a goal of mine for this year is to become a more accurate piecer) and c. become next year's UFO as I am quickly losing interest since I am more of an improvisational piecer anyway LOL!

I am still working on getting DH to finish processing the photos he took at my opening and then I will post them so everyone can see. It went very well, I sold one of the small pieces and a commercial gallery owner mentioned that he'd like to have some of my work in his gallery--so hopefully something will come of that!

Looking forward to seeing the pictures rryder. Congratulations on the sale of one of your pieces and good luck with the commercial gallery owner.

I had given up on a March finish. And then...my mom adopted my patriotic sun bonnet Sue UFO! Yahoo! 1 more bites the dust.

Oh my. I'm somewhere in the 20's, maybe pushing into 30s. But I just can't stop myself from starting more! We'll see how this finishing thing goes. What a great thread.
