I'm in. I went back to a mystery row quilt, by Pat Sloan, that was in America Patchwork and Quilting throughout 2016. I'd completed all of the steps, now I have them all pieced together and two borders attached. As soon as I make the backing it will be ready to layer and quilt. I kind of cheated by starting with the newest UFO, but any finish is a good finish, right? I have at least 8 more UFOs', I'll be happy to finish up half of them this year!

I'm in. I keep track of all of my quilts in progress on Pinterest. Of the 18 listed, 15 are what I would consider UFOs. Most need quilting and binding but a few got side-tracked while piecing. This will be fun and motivating to report successes.

Welcome back WMUTeach, I had to giggle and reply that if you did not make any new UFOs then you made progress and are ahead of many of us just in that!!! Hugs and smiles!!

Count me in -- I have UFOs stashed everywhere! My method is if I find a UFO when looking for something else then it is the next project I do. I have finished one UFO this year -- I've been working on mock cathedral denim quilts and have had two partially pieced. Now one of those two is completely finished and the other is 1/2 way finished. I have the circles cut for 4 more of these quilts. I just brought in another bag of circles to be marked and sewn together. These quilts are a win-win. They are UFOs and stashbusters. Each quilt uses about 12 pairs of old jeans and about 2 yards of fabric from my stash.

Yippee, I am on the train again!!! Thought I might miss it, glad it stops for those of us running along side trying to get on. Yes, I have UFOs so will be riding it this year and trying hard not to create any new ones or any rabbit trails until my UFOs are done. Goal is 29 by April 15, then 60 by year end.

That's quite a lofty goal, quiltermomma!! I wish you the best of luck achieving it. You'll definitely keep us (competitive) slackers motivated!! :D

Okay...this is a small one, but if you've ever done little ones you know how much time they can take. These 5 4P's have been waiting for about 5 years to have a home in a quilt. I finished this last night...it does need a little pressing around the binding.[ATTACH=CONFIG]564945[/ATTACH]...and yes I will take my tree down later in the week...

I'm working on a wall hanging based on Ricky Tims Convergence method. It's talking to me that it wants embellishments so I don't think I am as close to being done as I thought.
