Oh, Jaba! Lol and toot, toot for your UFO finishes! My goodness!! Post pix when you can. Would love to see more of your work.
A few more hours are left in this challenge! Any more finishes? Any UFO completed tonight by midnight in your time zone counts!

Found 2 table toppers from a mystery train, 1 baby quilt from a boomerang and 9 blocks from something....must be leftover from a mystery I think. Too many ufo's for sure!!

UFO April 8th Challenge
I remember catching a bit about the challenge, but don't remember for sure if there were any "requirements" other than finishing something. I have 2 things...one is a quilt a finished last Friday that I haven't posted yet. It is a D9P...the fabric was bought for a different pattern, even started cutting, then was going to do a different pattern and ended up using it for this as I needed a wedding gift. The original project was started 4-5 years ago.
Tonight I finished a table runner. I've had the backing/batting cut for a while but just didn't quilt it. Now it is all done...and before midnight!!

Anoka Quilter, what an interesting pattern on that table runner!
Fraew, I love your Easy Street! I don't think I will ever have enough black and white scraps to make that quilt, or enough black scraps to make Orca Bay.
I have come up with a new rule that's working well for me so far -- no other quilting-related activity allowed in a day until I've machine quilted for half an hour. (The machine quilting takes the most physical and mental energy for me, so it's the thing I would tend to procrastinate on.)

Carrie, no requirements other than finishing a UFO and you've succeeded admirably! Cute table runner and the D9P is lovely. I get a kick out of the fact that fabrics and patterns are planned in such and such a way but they often morph into something else entirely different. Congratulations and toot toot!
