Joe'sMom, Toot, Toot! Congratulations on your first UFO finish this year. The quilt is very pretty with such soft colors. I like the back you created as well. Nice job!

I finally have my first UFO finish of the year! I pieced this in May 2014, and put the backing together a year later. It was a free pattern from Clothworks.

Yay Joe'smom! Very nice.

Joe's Mom,
So very pretty. Love the soft colors.

Tonight's update for March is that we've had another 4 finishes by tkhooper, elly66, juanitabean and joe'smom. Toot, toot to you! Congratulations on your finishes and for keeping your eyes on the target and finishing your projects.

This brings us to 19 UFO finishes for the month. We're slowing down now as expected after the first flush of finishes for the new year, but a nice steady pace is very good. Let's all keep working on our UFOs.

I've been lax in working on my UFOs although I do have one at the LA I'm waiting less than patiently for. Should have it this week and then it'll need it's binding. It should be done by the end of the month. And I ran across a small wall hanging that I might possibly put under my needle as I'm clearly not going to work on my bigger projects right now. It's only 18" square. I should be able to quilt that quickly and bind it. As the engineer of this train, I ought to be working a bit harder to lead but just like most everyone here, I'm a procrastinator! Ooh, I said that aloud, didn't I?

Thanks, Rob. It crinkled up quite a bit, even though fabrics and batting were pre-washed.

Lisa - your quilt is quite lovely. The crinkled look suits this quilt, and your pieced back is terrific as well.

...not choking, rolling around in them in glee. Love love love fabric. I've found that if I choose/design the quilting when I choose the pattern then i am more likely to push through. But I'm still just a novice quilter.

I find I do this too. I try to "see" the quilting design as I'm piecing the quilt. The ones that speak to me are the ones I get done faster. The ones that don't sometimes get stalled.

Joe's mom that is such a lovely quilt. Just gorgeous. Love those colors.

Finished binding on 2 UFO's this week while I was on vacation in the mountains. A big-block quilt and a log cabin table runner.[ATTACH=CONFIG]545393[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]545394[/ATTACH]

Love the table runner. That fabric looks familiar, is it a flannel? I think at one point I had a flannel layer cake that had similar fabrics.

Thank you Rob. It isn't flannel, but was a kit I bought in Paducah years ago.
