thanks for all your helpif i need anymore help i will be sure to ask

Those pink squares really set the whole thing off, don't they?
Do I see partial seaming in the pinwheels? What a unique way to get them pinwheels a spinning!
I SALUTE! your feeling of accomplishment in finishing a project.
SALUTE! **** Need an icon doing a salute!**** <wave

You guys are doing a great job getting projects done. Im trying to figure out which one to do next. The remodle is done at the Childrens Hospital and I have 4 unfinished to give. Plus my own. I love pinwheels and the pink really sets them off, great job.

Yes, that is a partial seam pinwheel. Without the squares, the pinwheels are lost, visually.

This is a easy pattern that I developed by playing with something that looked completely different.

Sewmom, we were badly shaken, but after some PT, no long term damage, although I lost several months of quilting time, which has a lot to do with my number of UFOs.

I already have thrown in the Jan. towel...but I have only about 20 more inches on a wool BOM to go and it will be hanging in my living room by tonight! I know I can meet theFeb goal!

Jan? What Jan? We don't have no stinkin' Jan around here. It's Feb 2 and we have the whole month to work on projects. Way to go on your positive attitude!!!!!!!!!!!!

QM I love your pattern too, any chance you would do a tute for us on it?

Will do, but not today.

In your own good time!! Am happy to wait for something so special!! Thanks in advance.

Finished handquilting DGD's new bed quilt yesterday, whilst hubby had hand surgery, so that's one for Jan, and one for Feb. Now lets see if I can finish another for Feb as well.

I forgot to post the last of my January UFO's. Four are basically the same Flower Pot applique design (donations for terminally ill hospital patients and then passed onto surviving family members) and one is a Pansy Wreath applique (donation for our quilt guild silent auction). I pieced batting scraps for all five quilts which made me feel best of all just using them up!

way to go judebug tjjose are amazing.

my January UFO was completed on Feb. 2nd so I already am behind but I hope I can still play...cause I am already almost done with my Feb. UFO!

what beautiful blocks and the heart and soul behind them!

The pinwheel quilt is beautiful. Congratz on finishing.

Yesterday I finished a lap top I started almost 2 years ago. If we hadn't been in a crash, this would have been a quick quilt. It looks better than this pix shows, but I wanted to get it posted anyway.[/quote]

Your "Summer" done in stars is awesome. Looks beautiful.

WOW, your quilts are great! I'm still finishing up my charity blocks. They are pp but not as easy as they look.
I have a sewing kit ready to finish when these are done and then on to a bow tie bag that is cut out and calling to me. I think if I can get these small things finished I can get on to the the larger quilts with a clear conscience.

applique' quilt is lovely, I can't imagine the hours spent. beautifully done.

Lovely applique quilt. Hanger looks neat. How does it work and where did you find it?

I'm a month behind getting started, but have all the blocks made and am setting them together. It's only from 2006, lol.

I certainly hope this works been fooling around not knowing what I am doing.

Newbee3, Your quilts are wonderful and I do love your avatar!

thanks

newbee3, I am in love with your triangle quilt!! The colors are wonderful together. Are they all picked up from the border fabric? How many different fabrics have you used in the center section? How many triangles did you have to cut of each different fabric? Is there a name to this pattern or did you create it yourself?
LOL, sorry for the questions, I just want to know all about it, it's so pretty. I can see it in a pink/burgandy/gold version already!! Or pink/purple/gold maybe.
And just last week I bought myself a 60 degree triangle ruler!!
Hugs and smilesssssss

Your triangle quilt is beautiful and I love your Avatar. Sitting here today, looking out at all the snow, I watched a red-headed woodpecker attacking a tree in our backyard. He finally gave up and went for the suet. He was so funny hanging upside down on the suet. And then, believe it or not, there was a robin sitting on the edge of the eave drinking melted snow. They are so much fun to watch.

Don't worry about being a month behind. Last year - did good the 1st 2 months and then didn't work on any UFOs for 4 months b/c I was working on new quilt projects for gifts, etc. All in all I managed to get 8 finished and tHat's 8 more than I probably would've gotten finished. The challenge was good for me to get more accomplished.

What she said LOL!!!!

it is called Kalamkari strippy from Fons & Porter Love of Quilting Sept/Oct 2008

Here are a few of my UFOs that I have completed for Jan.

I forgot to post a photo of my Jan UFO that was finished Feb. 3rd!

Wow you guys are doing great getting your UFO's done.

Can I join a month late, although I am a month late I finished a baby quilt I was making for my sister in law, I dont have a picture cause I didn't take one before I gave it to her, but I will get one before she gives it to her grand daughter. I have already started on my February UFO.

You betchya! The more, the merrier! <wave>

It won't be easy but sounds like a good goal. I'm in.

I'll play

DH built it in less than 3 hours. there is a photo tute on my link. I am going to make another one with glass knobs!

But how do you attach the quilt? Surely you don't put the screws thru it?!?! There must be something quite simple that I am missing here. LOL

The quilt is 'clamped' between the two boards, lower than the screws. I wonder if a holder a bit bigger would hold the weight of a bigger quilt?

Ohh, lol , I knew it must be something simple... I would think if the boards were longer and had more depth of grip, they would hold a larger quilt. Or maybe just more depth of grip and use 2 of them.
Thanks for shining the light for me to see burnsk!!!

Here is my new quilt made from UFO's--
