Congratulations on finishing these beautiful quilts! I can't tell which one I like the most. Great job. Beautiful quilts.

LA, great finishes. I really like your BHMQ.

I'm working on another possible finish tonight.

Happy NY everyone. Enjoy and be safe. No plans here except relax and maybe sew.

Time to sum up my quilting finishes this year. I managed to finish 5 quilts. All of them were UFOs - 4 still from 2018 or earlier, 1 started in June, due in September, became UFO after September.

I still have 3 UFOs from 2018, hope to finish at least one of them through January. I have also 2 projects that I started in October-November 2019. Since they are already "from last year" (yes, it is 2020 on my side of the Atlantic!), they have just gained the UFO status. So 5 more UFOs to do, for 3 of which I have only cut the fabric, for 1 I almost have the blocks ready and for 1 I am half done with piecing the top. Way to go, girl.

I have also several further projects in plan - mostly from scraps which I have been cutting to standarised size for some time. Let's hope those will not become UFOs.

Good luck everyone with finishing your UFOs and making progress in the New Year!

Cherrybsixty: Good luck with your downsizing and your move.

LarasAussies: Great finishes! I like your On Ringo Lake border.

i finished 2 UFOs in December, but haven’t managed to get time to photograph them. Looking forward to some more finished in the new year!

cherrybsixty, best wishes for your move!

LarasAussies, wonderful finishes!

Beautiful finishes, Lara!! All of them so detailed. Lovely work...

cherry....good luck on your move. 90% downsizing...Wowza...

Happy New Years, everyone!

LarasAussies your quilts are great! My daughter loves flamingos. What pattern did you use? Once of these days one of us will make her a quilt. She's pretty busy with college and working right now so hasn't gotten to sew at all since last summer. Maybe I could make it for a graduation quilt. ;-)

its Elizabeth Hartman’s pattern Florence Flamingo. The directions were easy to follow. When I cut out the pieces, I put each set of the same piece (A, B, C etc..) into a labeled plastic bag to keep them straight as there are a lot of pieces. It mostly uses 2.5 inch strips so I got a couple jelly rolls of Kona solids and have enough left over for at least a couple more flamingos. I ordered the pattern off Amazon.

Three varied styles of quilts...all very nice! I'm a churn dash lover, too; partial to shoo fly block, as well. A great way to end the year LarasAussies.

I ended 2019 by taking the basting stitches out of a UFO so I can put it on the LA. I won't say how long it's been basted, let alone when it should have been done!

Looks like most everyone had a awesome year in the UFO depletion area, me not so much. I have been checking the posts and such wonderful pictures. Hard time choosing what I liked best.
I started out strong but life and work got in the way. This next year I vow to do better, especially since I quit my part time job! I decided I wanted to retire for a bit. If I feel like I have too much time on my hands I will find another PT job. But after getting all that needed to get done and had to do for others I had no sewing time left. Here's to 2020 lets keep our goals in focus! Cleaning and sewing!

Are we going to have a 2020 UFO Challenge thread? My goal this year is to finish eight UFOs.

LarasAussies, bonus points for the Agility equipment sneaking into the picture! My quilt pictures often have those items lurking in the background, too!

I also am looking forward to a new 2020 version of this same UFO Thread. The monthly accountability or goal setting seems to work for me and is neither high pressure or to "loosey goosey" for me.

The new format works intermittently for me. One day yes, another day can't access. But after a few days, I suspect that it will smooth out.

Yippeee... gotta love bonus points especially for background items in the photos... if I had known I could take pictures with all kinds of clutter in the background!!!

LOL, I had to go back and see what was in the background...guess I was looking at the quilts!

I'm curious...is anyone starting a 2020 UFO Challenge thread?

Ok, I haven't seen happylab post here for a while. I hope everything is fine there. If people are ok with it, I can start a new thread. With my planned move in the near future, I may not be up to date on all posts, but people seem to maintain this well enough. What do the readers think?

I would check with the Controller, but I'm just a lurker, it does sound like a means for the thread to continue into the new year
