Beatys9, we ALL like starting more but Anoka Quilter challenged me to start a challenge so I challenge you to jump right in here and find one little UFO. It really is a good feeling to finish something, anything! Do you have a small project? I've got at least two which means there's probably triple that number. I should be able to at least start one so maybe you can too?

Oh my. I'm somewhere in the 20's, maybe pushing into 30s. But I just can't stop myself from starting more! We'll see how this finishing thing goes. :) What a great thread.

Yes, I opened my big mouth. I will take your challenge Janice, let's see what I can get done by the 8th.

Travelinggramma - love the green and purples. Congrats on another great finish.
Blue Bell - Congratulations on finishing the Farm Girl Vintage. |
Challenge accepted! I hereby declare that my ES (Easy Street) binding will be done by April 8th. The binding is on and ready to hand stitch to the back...I better get busy!

I have finished putting the borders on a 2013-14 BOM. The top is 90 X 94 and is just a bit to big for my Grace EZ3 floor frame. Now, I'll get it ready to take to a local longarmer so it can be quilted.
I love quilts like this, that just seem to be alive!! Great job!! |

It went very well, I sold one of the small pieces and a commercial gallery owner mentioned that he'd like to have some of my work in his gallery--so hopefully something will come of that!

And April 11, my new grand daughter will arrive, so I will be away from my machine for a couple of days then, as well as being gone for a week at the end of April - so there's a good chance I won't have ANY finishes for April - which will SO blow up my goal of a minimum of 1 per month!! Oakley's "traffic" quilt, with the cars and trucks and traffic signs, is loaded on the longarm. MAYBE it will be finished by the end of the month... MAYBE. I had really hoped to have this for him when his little sister gets here, though, so he wouldn't feel "left out" as she will be getting so much attention. Perhaps I can squeeze out enough time after my meeting to finish his up... maybe even by April 8th. Once that one is done, I have a couple of yard-sale tops that need to be done - simple pantograph work, as they are not the best piecing work. They will definitely be "every day" quilts. Hmmm.... if I load them as a "single" quilt, then cut them up into kennel-sized quilts and bind them, that could give me "several" finishes. Is that cheating?!? :D |
Congratulations, Rob, with the sale of one of your pieces and the possibilities with the gallery owner. Happy news :)

Pyffer, congrats and Toot, Toot on your table runners! You've helped us to finish this month out well. I hope your fmq on lap quilt goes well.

been out for a little bit, life happens, right? Well, for this month I have finished 3 table runners that were sitting around half-done. Didn't get pics as they were done in a hurray for last minute gifts. Now I am trying to finish a lap size quilt for a baby with matching stuffed blocks. Got blocks stuffed and quilt sandwiched, just need to quilt. I think I may try my hand at FMQ again. I enjoyed it the other 2 times I tried, but only on smaller stuff. I am afraid of the big stuff, but this one with be the biggest I have attempted! I'm pretty sure I won't have it done for March, but certainly for April.

Congratulations, Jaba. Another two down! So nice to see the Boom quilt finished. :) Toot Toot!![QUOTE=jaba;7509752]2 more finished. Big block pattern, I can't even remember when I did this. Needed to be quilted and binding. This one I did sew the binding on by machine, a cheat for me. The other is one of last year's Boomerang swaps, needed the binding sewn on and then hand sewing the binding.[ATTACH=CONFIG]546546[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]546547[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
