Wow, 7 finishes! Congratulations and Toot, Toot Belfrybat! All beauties. (You posted on Oct 1 so I'll add them to October's tally.)

Here are my other four finishes. I have four more ready to bind and hope to get them done in time for a church conference I'll attend next week. If I can sell 4 - 5 of the quilts, I'll get enough $$ for batting and backing for the next year. I don't usually sell quilts, but even though I have enough fabric to last me the rest of my life, I need to buy a roll of batting and more backings. What doesn't sell will go to one of the local nursing homes.
All of these except the last one were finished 4 or so years ago but have been waiting for me to quilt and bind them. The last one is a Turning 20 but I only used 12 FQs to make it smaller. I like the TT for large quilts, but feel the blocks are much too large for a throw quilt. But it did turn out colourful!

Most were already quilted and waiting for thread snipping and binding (my least favourite part). Here are three and I'll take pics of the others tomorrow and post. All are prayer quilts (charity).

I sewed 36 blocks, then found out my plan was too big for a QOV, so came up with a new design. Now I have 12 blocks to play with as this one used 24. No more log fabric to make more
Can't upload picture...will try again later.

Awesome quilts Belfry and congrats on those finishes!
Wildyard, I hope you will be getting back into the swing of things soon. Fred sounds a bit troublesome, did you send him my way? I have developed Pereonal Tendonitis in the foot. I am sending him out to the ocean for awhile ok?
Wow Janice, stepping down? I always enjoy your beautiful compliments to us all and keeping track so well.

Oh, and this is a finish, not a UFO, but a finish. I had to hand dye the jacket and those pintucks in front take some time. I quilted the rest of the outfit. Will be on display at Pacific International Quilt Show in Santa Clara, CA. [ATTACH=CONFIG]581762[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]581761[/ATTACH]

Fall Half-Log Cabin
I finally got another one of my Half-Log Cabin quilts finished and only have to do the binding on another one so will post a photo when I'm done. I've taught this class several times so I always make new blocks and have quite a few quilts, plus blocks to make more.
