All my "partner's" color choices except the start. Just had a real hard time finishing this because of Elizabrat's death. Now that it is done, I'm really glad it is, she did the last row. As I was putting the binding on today, she was in my thoughts the entire time. Miss her

Congratulations, Jaba on this finish. I hope it will bring you comfort every time you see Elizabrat's work. Very special. Toot Toot.

2 more UFO finishes for May
The wall hanging and table runner are no longer UFOs. Tried some new techniques, micro-stippling on the table runner - oh my that takes a long time. I glue basted my 3 layers together with Elmers washable glue, another first. I prefer spray basting with 505, but my supply is used up and won't be able to buy any here in Islamabad. I used slivers of hand soap to mark some of my quilting lines, that worked out well. And I am very keen on a new technique for joining binding strips and attaching them onto the quilt. Check out the uTube video Sharon Schamber -Perfect Straight Binding. The placemats and hot pads are not UFOs, just decided to make them since I had some leftover fabrics.

Nice job, OhCanada. Toot, Toot on your two finishes! Love the wall hanging. It sounds like you are adept at making do when supplies run short. Are you able to order 505 online or would that not be something that's shippable to Pakistan? I imagine it might not be possible. Congrats on all of your finishes.

Blue Bell - Congratulations on the ribbon. Bet you were really happy you finished that UFO.
Oh Canada - Your WH and table runner are both beautiful. You were not kidding when you said micro stippling; however it turned out great and really sets off the stars.
How much longer will you be in Pakistan?

Jaba, Love your quilt. You have great quilting buddies.

I did the middle and then sent fabric along for the other's to make their rounds. Can't find my sheet on it but think it was momma hauser, tlambing, dabbler and elizabrat.
