I'm inspired by the finishes on this thread! So many pretty patterns & fabrics keep me motivated.

It looks like 11 days ago I put my UFO on the LA...this morning 2:00 am...I took it off. It took over 10 hours of quilting a panto on this 88 x 104 quilt...and ran out of the varigated thread I was using...was able to finish the last fill in row with another varigated that matched close enough. Tomorrow will cut binding...some from the backing...and sew it on. This one started sometime in late 2012. Time to get some sleep!

oksewglad , You need your sleep to get your creative quilt juices going. Looking forward to see the quilt. Have a good rest. Karen

Ha ha Bug Lady! I just finished the last stitch of binding while watching FB game today. Too late to take it outside for photo and now going to rain tomorrow morning. Maybe later in the day for photo op. So delighted to have this one done. Now which one do I do next or do I reward myself and start a new project :shock::shock::shock:

While sorting through things yesterday I couldn't find a home for yet another UFO. This one is a small wall hanging that was spray basted waiting for quilting. I have been looking at free pantographs and found one at Urban Elementz called Funky Feathers so tried it out. Put the it on the LA...just a bit of extra backing, but sneaked by. Before dinner started quilting, ate dinner, and took it off around 2:00 pm. Trimmed and ready for binding! This is too scary, I'm getting projects finished!

I pulled the quilt away from the spray basting when I put it on the LA. I didn't notice any problems, but wondering if the tension was a little off at my sharp points because of it.

Thanks, Teen..and now what will I do next! Well let's call another finish for me; that little wall hanging is bound and hanging on a quilt hanger! I have pictures but trying to figure out how to downsize from my phone. Now I have to work on some farm stuff...and the lawn is mowed.

Good morning UFO'ers, that four year grandson quilt has been delivered and I plan to take pix today and get them download to the thread as soon as possible. The 20 yo quilt has not made it back from the long-armer. She is in the middle of hosting a 70th birthday celebration for her DH. I maybe able to receive it on my return home. Looking forward to see how it completed. The five yo turned out great, now to get busy to quilt those other four UFO's that has history. Some ppl ask how can you wait that long. I say the lack of money, dis-content in the project, life just gets in the way. Just excuses sometimes but it happens

Have a happy Sew-Day, cherryb
