Hi everyone Love seeing all the projects. Beautiful finishes to all. I've finally caught up on the posts and added this thread to my subscriptions. Now I've got to get off the computer and back to my machine. Cheers!

I just finished the top for a not UFO quilt. Once I finish that quilt, my next project will be to finish a UFO. It's a quilt made of first year baby clothes for a friend of my daughter's. Her little boy is almost 3 now. LOL, time to get that one done and out of my space.

Well, I don't know if it would count as a UFO since it was a UFO that I finished as part of last year's challenge, but I just finished sewing the label on a quilt from 2015/2016 to send off to the Mid-Atlantic Quilt fest. I had to re-do the hanging sleeve to meet their rules (the one I put on last year was 1/2" too small). That entailed un-sewing the binding from the back of the quilt, removing the old hanging sleeve, enlarging it, and putting it back on. It was just as well since I'd machine stitched the binding to the back and this gave me the opportunity to hand-stitch it down. I also had to add a label with all the information on it that they wanted. I got the notice on Friday that the quilt had been accepted, and have spent the entire weekend fixing stuff on it so I can ship it to them tomorrow. HMM, to count it as a UFO or not?????

Hmmm, I see the problem. Same quilt? That might be stretching the "rules" a bit but I'll let you call it. No UFO police here remember? Congratulations on acceptance into the show.

Congratulations, jmoore, on your two finishes! Toot, Toot! As a scrappy gal, I particularly like the Arkansas Crossroads. Very nice!

Love all of the finishes this month.

I have been distracted by Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt, ( starting step #7) and starting the quilting bee sew along, and Judy's mystery train quilt (on step #2, cut out #3 & #4). Deciding colors on the 365 challenge and fabric on the temperature quilt. I do plan to complete a small UFO wall hanging later this week, and start another UFO project to count for February's UFO project. Happy quilting and sewing everyone.

Thanks Janice. While I would love to call it my UFO finish for Feb. since that would allow me to start a brand new piece (to get put on the pile of future UFOs). I can't really bring myself to let me off the hook that easily, so not a UFO. Sigh....off to the UFO pile to find something to finish for Feb....

Congratulations on the January totals, good job to all.

I was hoping that I could finish the top that I found in the stash for February, not going to happen, the 401A would sew through it. So with that I started to hand quilt it. But looking forward to what will be completed for Heart Month. Happy Sewing everyone

Hi Guys,

This month I promise to finish a bargello table runner that I started. Hopefully that will get done!

Hugs
