There are no small UFOs! Congratulations on your lovely Eagle UFO finish. Toot, Toot!

I also sent 3 UFO's to longarmer to get quilted. I figure next month for at least 2 finishes. So for this month's count, 1 UFO finish. I'm also trying to finish my UFO RWB table topper. I just need to layer the pieces and quilt the top. Next month finish. This month I'm still working on my BHMQ top. It should be finished next week. Unless I get side tracked. Which I do frequently.
Happysewing/quilting everyone.

OK, train riders! I believe I'm all caught up. I've been a bit swamped with database problems and had to re-create a section of it but I think I'm all set now. If anyone posted a finish and didn't receive an acknowledgement, please let me know. FYI, it's VERY easy for me to miss UFOs finishes if they are not marked UFOs finishes! PLEASE do me a favor: In caps or bold print, type UFO finish. Thank you so much for your help!
Let's see if there are any more last minute July finishes that just haven't been posted. Tally for July tomorrow or Friday.

As for totals, I usually give it a few days into the next month before I make the tally announcement to give people time to post their last minute finishes. Look for the tally in a day or two. Thanks.

I thought getting it out of my projects by giving it to someone else, counted as a finish?
At our comfort quilt group, I'm considered the designer. So I made the top and quilted it. Then the group welcomes my tops and quilted to complete/finish the quilt.

Absolutely it is! I just need clarity on what is and isn't a UFO finish. if someone posts a pic and and in some way indicates it's not finished, I don't count it as it appears to be an "in progress" picture. .If it's being given away as is, that's a finish. That's precisely why I ask that each UFO finish be identified as such. Some people do post "in progress" pix. I just ask that everyone be clear so there isn't any confusion. Thanks!

Here is "1Stripes and Squares". Quilted, blocked, threads cut, bound, labeled and rod pocket finished. Also giving a close up to show the quilting. The design within the triangles was inspired by a print in the fabric. Also, the large on point square is quilted with trees inspired by the stripe design surrounding the square. The design around the large square uses both the front and back of the fabric.
Sorry got the wrong photo and now the correct one won't load. I'll try again.
