With finishes by J.M. and CarrieM, our total is 291.
WMUteach, if you knew how many UFO's you finished this year, we could add it to the total. :-) Still have 3 days left to add to our count.

Okay, here's my attempt to post two pictures of my finished quilt. One's the entire quilt, the other one is a detail picture.

Hand quilting adds such a special touch....I'd love to see it in real life as I don't think any picture would do it justice....

Double post

WMUTeach, moving will do that for you. I know when we moved into our new house, just over two years ago not, I was shocked at the number of kits I found; 32 of them. I have not started a single one. This is in addition to my UFO's. So do kits you have had around for years, and I mean years, count as a UFO?

J.M. Congrats on the finish. I really like the detail you added with the hand quilting and the shamrock in the middle of each block.

I am in the process of getting all my UFO together into one place. I plan on photographing them and posting pictures on January 1st. What is really sad is that as I have been been gathering my UFO's some only need the binding and then then they are done.

Well, you could look at it as a positive that with just a little work, you could have multiple finishes quickly. You'll start 2016 with a bang!

Maybe I should make it my goal that I get all my bindings done in January.

I'm actually surprised at how well it comes across in the picture - at least the detail one. But yes, in real life you can see it better. On the other hand, maybe it's a good thing you can't see my stitches too well :D I definitely need to improve there, but that will come with time and practise.

Thank you! Originally I wasn't going to do the shamrocks, but that looked too bare. It was a lot of extra work (and just when you think you've finished, as I decided it when I was on my second to last border), but I am really glad I did it in the end. It gives it that finishing touch.
