Sounds like a new thread for the UFOs in progress is the order of the day. Who is going to start this thread for us? I'm looking forward to it.

What a good influence you've been already! Since reading this thread I've bought calico for my snowmen wall hanging (I think I'd been dithering for ages about what to back it with - using 'good' fabric that wouldn't be seen and is soooo expensive here etc. etc.) and this afternoon I FMQ'd it. Tomorrow I hope to get the binding on and give machine-binding a go.

2013 UFO Therapy Thread has been posted
 

Hi. I just posted the new thread: http://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1...ml#post5771789

If we find that it doesn't meet our needs, no harm no foul...just looking to help each other reach this challenge goal of completing 1 UFO per month! :)

I have plenty if UFO's and my big goal for 2013 is to make quilts from my MIL's stash for each of her grandchildren. No new swaps until I do this!!

Thought is if that does not fit the need, would be good to start a group for us to post photos of progress on and chat as well. I find those helpful with the doll quilt swap and monthly swap. Also we did it for the quilts for quilters swap last year.

QuilterMomma, i thought all your UFOs were F'd?

LOL, uh there are about 30 left to do. But, from what I have read now, that the ones that are just in their little kits are not UFOs so that leaves me about 20 or so to do. Honestly not much. I have them gathered nice and neatly in a storage tub under my sewing table so I can look at them and the few that are in the garage will be in the house in the tub shortly so they are all together.

I'm excited to see the other thread and will start posting pics of UFOs as I pick them up to work on there. I do have a finish to post here today though! My Minnesota Ladyslipper Wall Quilt was started in 2002 and (embarassingly) all I had to do was the binding last weekend. I will never EVER let a quilt wait 10+ years for binding!

The pattern is Road to Ireland from the book "Fat Quarter Quilts" by M'Liss Rae Hawley. It's about 35" by 47" and I'll hang it in my entryway in the spring.

This is UFO Finish #2 for 2013.

Love it asimplelife! :thumbup:

I am so glad to hear that you'll never let another quilt wait for binding. Where should I send the 4 that I have ready to go? That would certainly get me caught up and back to piecing. ;)
