Congratulations VickiM...and a TOOT TOOT for two UFO finishes! The bee runner is particularly darling. Nice work!

Here is my heart bargello finally finished. I did it in red, white, blue varigated Rainbow thread. Had a few breaks, but still was worth the time because it made the soaring eagles pop on the quilt.

Quilters, I'm exhausted just tallying up and replying to all of your finishes in the last couple of days. My goodness!!! I go away for a couple of days and come back to well over a dozen new finishes since my last Toot Toot!
My last tally post was on Valentine's Day. As of last night, our new total for the year is 114 with 40 so far in February. This past week has seen finishes by Rryder, Pyffer3, Madquilter, Kele, Lteachergeorge, Retiredteacher09, Sandy, Kristakz, JulieR, Jaba, JuanitaBean, QuilterMomma and VickiM! This has been a huge week for the UFO challenge. TOOT, TOOT to all of you!
Whew, I'm going to take a nap...
PS The third of JulieR's 3 charity quilt UFO finishes was #100! Great job to everyone who has been participating, including those who are still working on finish number one.
(Now for that nap!)

Wow!!! So many finishes in the last few days.
SandyinZ4 - What a great baby panel quilt. I enjoy working with panels and have seen some amazing quilts made with them.
Kristakz - That is a beautiful quilt and I just love the way you quilted it and how the back turned out with the two different thread colors.
Jaba - A big toot, toot to you, nine UFO's done. Bet it feels really good to have all those finished.
Juanita Bean - Congratulations on your two finishes. Some little girl is really going to like that panel quilt, and the other pink one is so bright and cheery.
Letawellman - Yeahhhhh, "Glory" is finished. Congratulations to you!
VickiM- love the runners.
Didn't have a lot of time to sew this weekend; however, I did get the binding machine stitched to 1 non-UFO and 2 UFO's. Just have to finish the hand sewing for them to be done. Did purchase the backing fabric for my King size quilt this weekend. Am hoping to get the batting cut tonight and hopefully loaded onto the quilt frame. Still need to figure out how I will quilt it.

Oops! I missed this one. BlueBell had a doll quilt finish so congratulations and a toot, toot for you BlueBell! And let's applaud your resourcefulness in getting those last inches done on the binding.

And wouldn't you know, I ran into a problem with the binding. I was a 1/2 INCH short and couldn't find the fabric, but I did manage to find the triangles that I cut off when I joined the binding. Showed my husband the 2 tiny pieces and told him that we quilters throw nothing away.
This doll quilt was supposed to be a Christmas gift, then a Valentine's gift. I am now ready for my friend's April birthday. I finished with time to spare. LOL
Love seeing everyone's UFO's completed. Nice work.

You can do it tkhooper, just take your time.
I did not get much quilting in last night. I did some more reorganizing. I thru out another large bag of garbage and moved shelving and desk around. It looks so much neater, but I have still so much to purge thru. How do we collect all this stuff? Also, hate to say it, but I found more UFOs and PIGs. Boy I have a problem I think.

I have one (literal) of those, but it doesn't even make my UFO list because I doubt I'll ever finish it.
