BOM's, FQ packs, kits, and completed tops that need finishing.
I have several BOM's in various stages of completion. I'm in Florida for the winter and brought 4 BOM sets with me. One set all the blocks are completed but need to be sewn together and finished. One set I have 10 out if 12 blocks done. Also working on a quilt made from a fat quarter pack. Working on a couple of bags and a Leaders and Enders quilt also. And I have several pieced Pineapp!e blocks that i want to make into potholders, table runners, pillows, or chair pads. I have a couple of quilt tops that only need to be layered, quilted, and bound but they are in Michigan so I can't get to them until May. My goal is to get all of them completed (and more) by the end of 2020.

Quossum - Congratulations on the finish! Loved the poodle squares. And you are not old! I think I have a UFO around here that was started soon after you graduated. Like a fine wine we are maturing,
I have actually started on one of my projects, 365 blocks from 2016! I'm up to Feb 9th looking at the month of February I think a few days I can whip out more than one. I'm using this kind of a break between the blocks I'm working on.

Just got a PM from rryder. He has finished two UFOs so our count stands at 7. Good job, Rob! Looking forward to seeing your pictures.
7 out of 22. Who will be the next to add the group goal?

UFO finished
I finally finished the top I found in a donation that started with 2 blocks completed and almost enough material for 8 more. I used some of my stash to add extra color to a couple of blocks along with the green alternate block color and the borders. Funny how i auditioned the border fabric for the inside green blocks and it didn’t work but I sure like it as borders. It measures 70” by 79.5” and will be donated to my church group to finish.
I really think it takes longer to figure out a layout for orphan blocks than it does to make the same blocks over and over but I like the challenge.
Color is much more vibrant than in the picture.
Next up: 9 blocks found in a donation that measure around 15” unfinished.
