my nephew got me a picture. This is a design I have been tweaking working out the kinks to make it bigger and to now bow in at the heel. Think I finally got it where I want it with the Pink one. Fully lined and I FMQ their names right in the design. Not bad for working on them with a head cold

Altairss- what a great idea for a dog stocking! Good job on the log cabin, I like the zig zag fabric with the lightning setting. Those boot stockings are a hoot. Hope you get over your cold soon. I got one 2 weeks before Christmas and I'm still not right.

Altairss- The cowboy boot stockings are so great. I like the names FMQ'ed in. The dog stocking in the shape of a bone is creative. Plus, the colorful Seahawk quilt is great. It sounds like it was one of those quilts where everything that goes wrong does. But your perseverance paid off. It is a wonderful quilt.

Special thanks, extra high five and well dones to Janice for being such an outstanding engineer of this UFO train. Looking to riding along with you again next year Janice!!
My probable last post for this year is not a UFO, but this comfort quilt I just finished which is what is helping keep me out of my UFOs. I am very very pleased with the way this quilt finished and I love the jewel tone colors, so I just wanted to share it with my UFO friends.

We're almost to the end of the year. I can hardly believe we passed last year's tally much less the 400 mark. And the finishes are still coming! Yay, you!!! Please continue to post your 2016 UFO finishes; anything you complete before midnight New Year's Eve counts here. I'll hold off a couple of days into 2017 to post the final number of 2016 so any last minute finishes can be added.
As for 2017, I'll set up a new thread either late on New Year's Eve or early New Year's Day and we'll start another train adventure because I suspect some of us might still have a few old UFOs left over and maybe even some new ones.

Those latest additions are just adorable. Love seeing the pictures. I know I say that almost every time but it is true. Pictures give inspiration and motivation.
aaaahm, Janice - I have more "than a few" waiting to be completed. Wish they didn't require layering and basting and I'd be long done.
