Fraew and tlambing--good looking finishes! Hooray for both of you.

I'm trying to get a finish but got way-laid for new dresser scarves (runners) for the new baby room. Almost done piecing with one set and one other set to go. Then quilt them so they can be on the plane with me in 12 days. Have a customer quilt to quilt and sew the binding for her before I leave. I need to have more hours in the day....

I like all of the lovely finishes. Tiambing, I love your colors on your quilt. I started that same mystery, it's still a UFOs. Maybe finish next few months.

Fraew,such a lovely mini quilt.

I like your quilts silliness, so pretty.

I had planned to work on 2 small ufo's, over the next 3 days, but I can't get into my sewing room for another few days. We are putting tile on our entryway, which blocks my sewing room. I still plan to finish at least one project before the end of the month. We will wait and see.
Happy sewing and quilting everyone.

Way to cut down on the UFO, Fraew...just make it smaller :D....
Lovely, tlambing....

Okay so I got a UFO flimsy done....yeah...Will stay in limbo land for a while until I can get set up for some FMQ...I started a mini quilt to work on as leaders and enders while sewing the blocks and rows together...it was windy when I took this[ATTACH=CONFIG]554022[/ATTACH]...then pulled out another leader and ender project....a big quilt of 8" blocks...Got to the point of needing to add star points to the last 21 blocks...5 done and decided to put it away...still using the mini as leaders and enders...a while ago I saw Tonya Ricucci's Lego quilt and was inspired...I have sooo many scraps....I pulled out my not so favorite 1 1/2" strips and started making blocks....jeez I just created another UFO.....

Fraew love the mini. Was it suppose to be a bunch of blocks like that for the maxi? I like the quilting you did on it too.

OK, Love your 8 inch block quilt. You do have lots of scraps. Nice work.

HELP! I machined stitched on the binding and it is to wide so I can't turn the corners. please help as this will be a UFO that I'd really like to get done by the end of the month when a class is coming up that I need room to work on.

Evolution, great way to think of it. Beautiful 21 year old UFO finish! It definitely must feel good to be done with this one! Toot, Toot Fraew!

This mini started as a maxi (bed size) in '95. It finally matured to "mini" size last year. Sometimes you just have do what the project wants you to do. I sent it to the fabulous Charisma for quilting...just to get it off the naughty list. So toot toot and woo hoo! Done!
