Finally, another UFO finish. It's twin size around 72 X 72, so it will be nice to cuddle under during winter ( or whatever cold spell we might get here in Arizona ). Of course, one of my daughters or grandkids might claim it before then.

I am making progress! Finished two UFO tops this week and layered them for quilting yesterday. Baby steps toward the goal of quilting finishes! Hoping to post photos this week!

Beautiful finish, @Sync I love the colors.

I made some progress today. As with many of my projects, a lot of start and stop. I finished all the blocks I’d planned to make for a QAYG lap quilt. I played with its layout and it’s just way too small. It’s a scrappy number and the blocks used up the last of most the fabrics in it. I realized I’m going to want to do borders to add size, peeked at my stash and didn’t see anything to suit. I packed those blocks up and tucked them away to tackle that issue another day.

I then re-sandwiched one of my UFOs and pinned that puppy down. Planning to start quilting it up with week. It’s a Christmas flannel quilt.

My too small QAYG top
 

This top was completely thrown together from stash fabrics and I don’t have much of any of
them left. I’m now pondering what kind of borders to add to add a lot of size and coordinate with what’s already there with very little matching fabric left. These are 8.5” squares, so will finish at 8” (40” x 56”). I don’t particularly want to add sashing since that seems fiddly with the blocks already quilted. Open to suggestions if anyone has any.

Such lovely finished UFO’s and ufo wip.

- I’m still working on putting binding on the king size quilt for my niece. I figure to give to her next weekend. I’ll post pic when I’m done. Then I will finish the traffic jam twin top and quilt. And give to my GN.

I'm late to the party and you may already have finished this WIP, but there seems to be a nice blue in many of the floral centre blocks - you could have a series of borders, depending on what you have in your stash. What about the background cream colour from those same blocks, a narrow pieced border of whatever leftovers you have of the fabrics in the pieced blocks, and then a wider border of something that is close to the blue. It wouldn't have to match exactly if it's separated from the quilt blocks by the other borders... You could also use a burnt orange like in the bows if you have that.

I haven’t finished, I set it aside to marinate! I was thinking about looking for some orange to play off the ribbons, in keeping with the retro color scheme. I do think a series of borders is the answer. I’m thinking about a cream border with inset diamonds or squares of the green and yellow I have left over from the blocks as one of the layers. Thank you for the recommendations! I will go to the stash blues and oranges and see what I have!

I am shocked to see that I have not posted in so long. But to apologize, I have been making other things, had some surgery and am not back on the wagon, Yesterday after I finished a black and white quilt, I dove into my basket of UFOs looking for my next project. What I found was two finished quilt tops with their backing ready to go. So.....this weekend, I will be sandwiching all three so I can move on them as time allows. Photos when they are quilted and the binding is on. Perhaps one this weekend with the other two later in September. Time to move these forgotten tops under the needle and then out the door.

What have you been finishing? Don't forget to post your successes at cleaning out your UFO's.

I love all the flowers in the trees!

Thanks for the reminder to post here, WMU. :-)

I shared a post with a couple of baby quilts on the Fabric Moratorium thread (https://www.quiltingboard.com/8659736-post197.html). I'm not going to repost here other than to link the pics of the actual UFO from 1995 or so and to say I'm very pleased to be using up some of this mid-1990s fabric and getting at least one UFO out of the house!
