It is starting to look good for July finishing up UFOs. I have them lined out in my head. Will post the Spokane Row by Row when daughter gets it done. Of course the rows aren't till Thursday, but we have a plan to get at least five here, two stores closed and so we have to call out for reinforcements in other areas. This should be fun. I will help her get this one done then do my Montana and I will turn that one in at the local store near the cabin. If she can get an art quilt done in less than a week, she can do the rows in less than a week.

Good evening all, (at least it's evening here). I have completed 2 swaps and mailed them out. I'm still working on the 9-patch swap. Only 30 more blocks to make. I need to get them done by Saturday. Then it is serious UFO time.
Thinking of UFO's, I have a grand total of 2 so far. #2 being Teen's sending her blocks to her Church group. Yea Teen! Thank-you for holding us up. And yea! for Rob for helping keeping me straight on my counts. Now back to my 9-patches.

No UFO's for me so far this month but this last week in June I hope to get one finished, since my Chemo quilt is done, and should be delivered this week.
Here is the link to my post. Modified Carpenter's Square - The Celtic Carpenter
I have been working on sort of a UFO this week also. My fabric really needs to get organized. I finally figured out what system will work for me. I have broken my fabric up into 9 subsets and am currently folding and wrapping them around either the 6 or the 3 inch ruler depending on how much fabric it is. Then it gets a post-it with amount and I am also entering it into a spreadsheet that I can transfer to my phone and Kindle. So when at the store I don't get something I have.
Next UFO is a table runner that needs a little more quilting, and the binding.

Dedemac: That chemo quilt is very pretty. I love the bright colors.
4 more quilting thread ends to tie in and I will have a finish! My eyes needed a break and I decided not to push it.
I will post a picture tomorrow when it's done.

I got a finish! I'm so excited. I started it on this board in September, 2014, and it was PaintmeJudy's 7th train ride.
I usually donate my quilt tops to one of two organizations but not this one. Approximately 52" by 66".

Dedemac, your Celtic Carpenter turned out beautiful!
retiredteacher, what a wonderful quilt! I love how the white brightens it up.

Dedemac, love your design. And it certainly does pop.
Connie, congrats on your finish and on quilting it for yourself. Sometimes the oldest UFO’s are the hardest to finish.
