While I was "Tote-diving" last weekend, I also found three more embroidered wildlife squares sets that were given to me last year. Two of these already have the sashings and materials cut out to assemble the top. :thumbup: All that is needed is the borders. That is what the stash is for---right?

In addition to that, I found a Wall hanging/Pillow combo Deer panel that I had separated for another top. I need additional material to fill in the open space around the rectangular pictures (stash again :) ). I also need to decipher what I have scrawled on the sketch diagram to figure out what I originally planned for this one. All of these got pulled out so that they are at least in the fore-running for getting finished.

All of this is not going to be done before Christmas--let alone Black Friday...

It's like Christmas--crossed with a really bad hangover. It is nice to say "--ooh I forgot all about this one :shock:". Then you have that thought--"what in the world was I thinking..."

Everyone has that running list in the back of their mind--what am I working on, what is next in queue, what did I separate material out for, what did I need fabric for, who gets the next one... For some reason, my mental rolodex dropped these completely out the back--even the tops that were already done :o .

It is the most fun when everything is already cut out.:)

Mmad...I finally confessed to my quilt buddies how many UFO's (big) I have found. I'm working on 2 of them right now. I'm quite pleased with myself. I have finished 4 large quilts since August.

And yes the moments...what was I thinking do surface..I'm not sure if I will deem it necessary to finish all those on my list!

Cute conversation on forgotten UFO’s. I can relate. I just found a UFO I started 10 years ago. I only need to quilt the top. I now have someone who is interested in getting the quilt top. A pre-teen here’s a pic of the top. [ATTACH=CONFIG]619730[/ATTACH]

Welcome to the group Vasilisa.

Ah happylab...even better to find one that some wants!

I dropped the last "find" off to the Binky Patrol coordinator...it's a lightweight pastel quilt about 58 x 80..so a nice size.

I have 3 quilt tops ready to sandwich still...just unpacked my roll of batting....and I unpacked my Farm BOM project so I can finish that one soon, too. Still unpacking and getting sewing room organized....somewhat. But lots to do to get settled before I sit behind a sewing machine again.

Happylab.....I really like your 10'year old UFO. So cool looking so I can totally see a pre-teen going for that. I would, too, and I was a pre-teen a long long lonnnnnnng time ago...lol...Good job!

happylab, that really does seem like a perfect quilt for a pre-teen. Black and brights always look great together.

I haven't been around much lately, trying to get one of the young folk to help with downloading some pix that I have of some finishes but, no one has time.

Happylab, love that 10 yr piece, those colors are great, glad you got a home for it.

While waiting to pass some thing off to my 'long-armer' I put together a small scrappy about 50" x 50" I can take all the pix I want but never get them downloaded. Such a process, did a little bit of knitting while I was waiting

Happy sewing everyone stay warm while you work---cherryb
