Got a ufo quilted today and trimmed. Just need binding. Progress. Refused to start a new project.

Oh, Pet, you are a strong women to not start a new project. I am taking a UFO with me to my retreat this coming weekend and hope to get-r-done! Lovely quilt pattern but I got started and then it dragged on and on and on with so many other patterns and blocks that were more "fun". Hoping I can post some progress by next week this time! Fingers crossed.

Pictures, we need pictures.... please. ;)

Thank you Joe's mom! I'm so grateful to be here! And yes Gemm I hope the journey goes well!
Pet- Yay! What great progress! I'd love to see it too. And have lots of fun WMUTeach. Looking forward to seeing your finish!

Finished is good.

an observation; the background fabric is printed on bias. The blocks with half square triangles and other blocks on diagonal reflect the bias print of the background..

We I completed 3 UFO’s last month. I’m working on another one and hope to complete by EOM. My goal for December, complete 2-4 more. Pending on my long arm. I’m having trouble quilting a baby top where 6 layers meet in the center of a block. The needle tends to stick in the area. Tonight or tomorrow I will quilt it out. If all goes well I will be done in less than 2 hours. Otherwise it could be many more hours. I will need to free motion the rest of the deign. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

The last week of December I plan to start another year of UFO’s challenge 2024. I hope to see old and new members.

i had long arm minor issues November & December. Now I’m working on projects I should have completed in October and November. I have now just switched to projects I want to complete before the end of the year and for family members.

I will be there. I have cut down on the number of UFO's but It still helps to have a "plan" and friends to encourage me to get after them. I will join in when I see the new post for 2024.

Keep up the UFO chase, Happylab. Only two months behind, well, that is not as bad as some one I know well. Tee-Hee-Hee.

I'll be right there behind you happylab. 2023 was a bad year for finishes here. I only finished 2 UFOs. Hopefully I will do better next year.

My most annoying UFO is the half-finished Laura Heine collage taking up my full-sized guest bed. I took a class in early Nov. and have been chipping away at the intense process of cutting and sticking things down a little at a time ever since. It's not as easy to maneuver as a project box full of blocks. With those, I can make a few blocks and then set the box aside to work on something else. Hoping that some snowy day after the holidays, I will put pedal to the medal and move the collage into the finished column. And I'll never do a collage quilt again!
