I am in again for another year. 2017 I only finished 5 UFOs but that's better than nothing.
The next one that has been talking to me to get finished is a DP9 with Eagles for my BIL. As soon as my back feels up to it, I'll get to basting (my Least favorite part of the job). |
AQ: Great start on getting the quilt out after 14 years. It will feel nice to get it finished. Hope to see a picture.
Battle Axe: i like the trees. Wow, after 17+ years in hiding, it will be such an accomplishment to finish that one. |

Love the penguin you made QM, he's so cute! My 1st finish for 2018, a baby quilt from about 3 years ago. It's a simple pattern from the Quilt for Kids web site.[ATTACH=CONFIG]586660[/ATTACH]

Jaba: Very cute finish! Love Quilts for Kids! I am very active in my local chapter. I organize all the deliveries to the local hospitals and foster care agencies. QFK has a few very easy quilt patterns. :)

Congratulations to those of you with finishes! Thanks for sharing.
****UFO finish!!!!*****. 72" by 78". It will be finished and donated by my church group. I am calling it an UFO because the 4 rows of smaller blocks were orphan blocks and they were mostly found in someone's donated stash. I did add a few to the mix. Connie [ATTACH=CONFIG]586676[/ATTACH] |
Jaba...love the children's quilt.
Retiredteacher- love love pinwheels...so cute! Congratulations on both your finishes! Today, I sewed my main pieced quilt top together (yea!).... I've had this fabric collection since April. Tomorrow, I will be doing some appliqué and deciding on borders. I need it to be queen size so, probably another week before I finish and get it ready to sandwich. I'll be machine quilting it myself on my domestic so a bit nervous with this size quilt; however, this quilt is for my guest bedroom so I'm not concerned with imperfections. Just glad the main part is done.... |

I think it's because we don't want to buckle under the weight of an entire year's goal. Many people set a goal of 1 (or some number) UFO per month. We track finishes each month, and celebrate every one of them. But there are no rules. Set a goal if you want, or just wing it. Or just drop in any time you like and tell us about any finishes you have so far this year.

krista, Such a lovely Labrinth top. Just think you are starting with the biggest one, if it takes you longer than a month, okay. Just think the others will be smaller and hopefully easier. It will be lovely when you are finished.
QuillterMomma, Such a cute penquin & your black dog is adorable. Congrats on your finish. Congrats to Teen for not having any UFO's. I wish I could say that, but I can't. Too many UFO's. And that is why we have this thread. To help us/me finish them and move them on their way to a new home. Jaba lovely baby quilt. Congrates on your finish. Toot, Toot!!!! :thumbup: Retiredteacher09, Congrats on your UFO finish, Toot, Toot!!!! :thumbup: Someone will really like the quilt. Question for anyone who wants to answer. I'm curious, How old is your oldest UFO you plan to complete this year? My is 30+ years. When I 1st started quilting, I pieced a king size top out of old sewing clothes scraps and had hand quilted a small portion I had to take down the top off a large hand quilting frame to move. Since then I have separated the layers and rip-it into 2 parts. I'm still unsure how to finish. But it's on my to do list this year. |
In answer to your question of "how old old oldest?"... well... last month, I posted pics of my 30+ year old Dresden Plate, that I hope to finish this month. But, now that I think about it...
If I count a top that was pieced by my great-grandmother, and I put borders on... and that has been rolled up on my old hand-quilting frame... that one may well be older than I am. I really need to unquilt that and longarm it instead. |
