I wish you well as you press forward with chasing down the UFO's!
Congrats on the finishes Sewbizgirl! Love the first one's colors.
Boston, that purple & green is pretty!

So... another one gone.

Some people go to great lengths to get a UFO done!

Gosh, everyone has been so industrious. I finished 7 UFOs this week, but only took pics of the ones I had pieced myself. 3 were quilts for the homeless group I belong to and I only quilted and bound them. The four pictured here I pieced in Nov/Dec and finally got around to quilting and binding.

Well done, Belfreybat....these all are wonderful....I'm kinda of partial to the last one. Such warm colors... Do you hand sew your binding on the back? I ask because that is a lot of work for one week. For donation quilts, I typically machine sew my binding but for gifts and special quilts, I hand sew. Just wondering....

Thank you. I have a definite aversion to hand sewing anything. These are actually done with back to front binding method where I cut the back 3/4" larger than the front and fold to the front and sew. For quilts I make for friends or to sell, I still machine sew the binding but use the more traditional strip method where I sew onto the back and fold over to the front.
