I changed the border a bit. My husband refers to as the “worlds largest quilt”. It ended up 108 x108 so while not the worlds largest it definitely the largest I have ever completed.

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!

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! |
