Wow, kristakz! I love the colors! Great job staying focused and finishing some projects!

Janice and Linda, both are beautiful!! You are all motivating me to keep working on this UFO. I have a set of placemats that should have been done last year, but I am not done with the binding. I am not sure it will be an April finish. I am a very slow quilter. I take forever, but I enjoy the process, so no complaints.

Janice and Wildyard.....progress. Are we having fun?

I'm so busy staying current, UFO's are still where they have been... Maybe next month.

Any other finishes this month?

I have double the fun, and progress too! I also finished a new project quilt today. I used the UFO blocks as leaders and enders with the new project as much as I could, until it got too big to work that way. I'm lucky all the fabrics ended up in the right quilts. LOL
My new project is a donation quilt for a fundraiser against neurofibromatosis and I'll be donating it next week. I used a charm pack and a fat quarter pack plus a few scraps to eke it out. I'm very pleased with how it came out.
So I'm feeling very accomplished this week. :)

Thanks for all the kind comments. I've already pulled out another set of 12 1/2 inch UFO blocks from a Boom swap. I'll need to make three more then I'll have enough for a lap quilt when I add a little sashing to each. I'll use QAYG again but might try adding a border to this one. We'll see. I'm not counting on it being done in May but perhaps June. I also have a top I need to put together that will go to the LA. It's from about 2005. Good grief.

Here are photos of the other 2 quilts I mentioned earlier this week, as part of my 4 finishes for April.

The first is about 4 years old, and I understand is called "Carpenter's Square". However, I originally drafted it myself from an inspiration I saw online. Love teal, as you can see, and used the last bits of several different teal fabrics in this quilt. Once again down to the wire, I at least saved enough of 3 of the teals to make a scrappy binding with some of the neutral thrown in.

The second is my own design, called Stepping Stones. It was originally to be submitted to a magazine (over a year ago), but I discovered that I don't have the patience (or is it dedication?) for that process, so I'll probably just release the pattern later.
