I am so excited. I ran out of thread for another quilt yesterday afternoon so I grabbed a sandwiched but unquilted UFO and I have it quilted and about 1/4 of the binding on. I see a UFO finish for February! That will make just a little more room in my closiet and I can start thinking about a March UFO. Photo when completely finished.

Finished a ufo that’s been ( laying around) for at least 5 years- probably closer to 7.
and another Ufo I decided just to pass on- donate somewhere- I’m never going to finish it so there is no point keeping it laying around.so... 2 done. They were both Round Robins that the sewing group I used to go to did, years ago.
here’s the one I did finish

WMUTeach: Way to go! You took a possible frustrating situation and turned it into a win-win.
ckcowl: Awesome finish and congratulations on getting 2 UFOs off of your list.
Several times today, I was going to pull out my tea towel UFO and got sidetracked. 🤷♀️

A February finish! "Field of Stars" size 78x 88. That's my queen bed it's laid out on. (Covers but almost no drop)
Pattern is Missouri Star 'Lemon" blocks - which the rest of us know as LeMoyne.
98% stash. I had to buy a little white - white for the inner border - my Kona Snow had a yellow tinge that didn't look good. Used scraps, random FQ... basically anything I had floating around. While fabric is repeated - there are no 2 combinations repeated. (That's the kind of detail y'all might appreciate - even if the recipient might not)
Mitered corners continue to give me trouble even if I like the results. I spent 45 min last night on one corner that surprised me by being too short AFTER it was mostly sewn on.
Why did it UFO? I started this last year and quite honestly I got tired of squaring up blocks. The HSTs are all oversized and need to be trimmed to 3". I *hate* trimming.
Why did I pick it back up again - the recipient is coming from Florida to visit. This way I can show it to her before dropping at the long armer. It still needs a label and black binding but the big work is done.

Awesome progress everyone, It's probably close to zero out and the sun looks inviting but I'm still not going out there, phone said -19 at 6AM. I have been working on the back for this months UFO and actually seeing some progress. I have all the pieces cut and just have to remember what order they need to be pieced in, so far only 1 seam had to be frog stitched.
Half way thru February how many can we knock out?
