It's finished!
My camera bit the dust and I am waiting for $$$ to get a new one. Here is a photo of the finished top...before quilting it. I just did stitch in the ditch on the columns. Man...the black border was a mess after the quilting.....and talk about ravels! It was cheapie black fabric...looked good and sewed well but it picked up so much fuzz from the batting. This quilt is for my spare room bed.[ATTACH=CONFIG]571718[/ATTACH]

SheriR, love that quilt. Makes a nine patch just shine with the sashing setting. I think I will get some of my blocks that have been sitting there and do this sashing. Will jazz them up and get them into a quilt that needs off my UFO list.
anne2016, that is a beautiful monochromatic quilt. Love it. I am with you on the black fabric issue. It can be a bugger.
I am finally getting to one set of my Boom 17 UFO project. It is on the wall now and making the setting blocks. Thought to jazz it up some. I may or may not do a pieced border depending if I find any stash fabric that will blend with it and then onto the longarm.
Still have not gotten my garage cleaned up and the longarm into the house. We are having our first real day of spring with warm temperatures and sunshine together at once. Not that I want to weed, but my garden area is needing it really bad and the soil is so wet can't get out there yet. Going to have my hands dirty and shoes.

I have a UFO finish for April!!!
I didn't think I'd have time to finish a UFO this month due to lots of out of town guests. But the last one left Monday and after reclaiming my sewing studio (DH still calls it the guest bedroom LOL), I was able to pull this smallish piece off the UFO pile and get it done. Good thing, too since I didn't have a new piece for the 4th Friday opening at the gallery where I show my work.
I think this one's been sitting around for the better part of a year (or two) waiting for inspiration.
