Well, here's to making a realistic plan and taking steps to actually do it!

[ATTACH=CONFIG]547037[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]547038[/ATTACH]I did not declare earlier in this group, but here is a UFO from 2010. Finished in
March. The cover quilt from the Fons and Porter Mag. May/June issue. I added the ants on the back from a row quilt by Jacki ? on Craftsy, which came out last summer. The binding is a red fabric with ants.

Just finished 4 small UFO projects!
These started out as large blocks, I was experimenting with tea-dying muslin for an antique look.
I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them, so they got shelved (for a few years). I've been wanting to make new covers for the throw cushions, so I added some borders to make the blocks the correct size for the existing pillow forms and made envelope-style covers. The backs are made with a pretty fabric I picked up on my last visit to Singapore earlier this year. I had just enough fabric to do all 4 pillows. Added a bit of lace, and they are pretty enough to use either side.

Giquilt - what a cute quilt, and I love the ants. That is a great touch. It never occurs to me to put anything on the back of my quilts.
OnCanada - Congrats on completing the four pillows. They turned out really pretty.

Love the ant/watermelon quilt. Adorable for sure.
Those pillows are terrific.
I am up for the challenge. I have a wallhanging I can get the binding on by April 8. It is from ..... 2000. I will get it on. Yep, going to do it. Yep, and if i say it enough, just maybe. Now about that IRS issue, someone come help me so I can have some fun quilting.
