Great finishes!
I enlarged 4 baby quilt tops that were donated to a charity but were too small for the charity's dimensions. I also sandwiched, pillow-turned, and topstitched them. Now other volunteers will tie the quilts. I dropped them off at the charity last night.
I'm excited I get to add them to the finished lists!

Wow! You ladies already have some wonderful finishes! I have UFOs lurking too so will join you all in getting some of these PUPS off my todo stack. I am a little afraid to count them...but will. My goal is to finish about one per month 
and hopefully not add anymore to the stack either

Some I want to just make go away ( pass on) , some I truly want to finish. I can certainly use some encouragement and motivation.

Equigle5 - i've had the same thing happen. And with me it was 5am and I had to go to WalMart. The pens I got weren't very good.
The raggedy brick is sewn now all I have to do is cut the raw edges of each brick into 1/4 inch fringe. I'm thinking about a week if I don't get help. But it does mean the table runner UFO is on the machine. Today I did the stitch in the ditch around the outside and inside borders. Yeah, 8 hearts to go to the finish line. Hope to be done before tuesday. That's my start date for the Star Flower UFO. Tight deadlines right now.

I looked up the raggedy brick pattern. It would definitely be one to use up some of my larger scrap pieces. Will probably make one myself. Look forward to seeing yours all finished.

I'm in. I started last year, but slacked off towards the end - at least in tracking UFOs. Last year I had 23 UFOs to quilt. This year I have 26 (22 to quilt, 4 to bind). The good news is they aren't all the same ones. I actually finished more quilts last year than I thought. However, I need to focus this year - 22 to quilt, 4 to bind, 10 in progress - make that 14, if I add in my New Year's mystery quilts. And I won't even talk about the piles of fabric/patterns that scatter around my room. The challenge is making time for my own quilts on the longarm, in between customer quilts. Speaking of which - I have 2 custom quilts due in the next 2 weeks and better get my act together there.
