Oh happylab...I didn't see your quilt...It's gorgeous! The Daisy quilting is so sweet with this layout. A little peek of petals in the dark areas. Looks really cool. Congratulations on finishing. That is an old one and must feel good.

That's a very striking quilt, Happylab, I can see why you're keeping it for yourself! Congratulations on getting it finished!!!

An alternative to the project bags that I've been using are the 2.5 gallon ziploc bags. There is a dollar store in the town next to where I live that carries them, 5 in a box and they are actually quite sturdy, and I haven't had any trouble with the ziploc slide,they are actually rather well made, might work while your waiting for the website to restock.

You might want to look on Amazon for clear stadium totes as well. Here is one I found that is larger than mine, but about the same price I paid. There are other sizes. https://www.amazon.com/Bags-Less-Sec...ateway&sr=8-19

I finished quilting my current UFO today! Now I'll see if I can get it bound by the end of March.

Definitely want to complete some UFO’s this year. I have two I want to complete in April. I will see about a count and PM you HappyLab. It will be nice to have some UFOs become quilts this year.

Both passed inspection by Scout who can't resist a quilt. I have enough bunny fabric for two more quilts but will set it aside to finish other UFO's. I dug out the Mystery Train #20 as my next quilt to finish. Started in late summer, perhaps. Need to make 20 more blocks![ATTACH=CONFIG]610507[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]610505[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]610506[/ATTACH]

Great finishes WMU they are perfect for little ones!

Congratulations on the finish Happylab, like the way the quilting echos the border print, and ties everything together.

Teen - waiting for the picture!

I have the top sandwiched trimmed and binding made, sewing it on today and will take it with to WI for the weekend and have a nice relaxing time sewing it down. With luck I will have a finished ufo on Sunday?

Thank-you everyone for you nice comments on my ufo.

DS welcome to our thread. I hope you enjoy the ufo show and encouragement we give each other.

Hopefully this works for a pic. Still unable to post another pic. Tried 3 times so far. Anyway I completed a very simple cheater’s baby quilt. All I had to do was add binding. I bought the quilted panel many years ago for my GN, but never had the right fabric and top together at one time. Next week it going out in the mail for another GN’s baby boy. The othe project was a very small Santa and Rudolph Dollie, (at least that’s what I called it). I’ll keep trying to post pics. Back to other UFO’s. Happy sewing everyone.

Kudos to those who are finishing their UFOs. I'm busy quilting but except for two they are not UFOs. I'm just finishing one up and hope to have a pic by Monday. Perhaps two if I will get my hiney in gear and finish the quilting. I go in spurts and will quilt one or two a day for several days, then stop to piece some more. I'd much rather piece than quilt!
