I'm finishing up a Quilt of Valor. It was a kit handed out by the guild and turns out it had only half the required fabric so I am trying to find some fabric to finish it out with that won't look dorky. I'm working on a sashiko piece with a few of my friends. It's going to be an asian art piece that will be auctioned off to help raise money to buy a building for the Heritage Quilt Museum. I'm working on a Jane Stickle (Dear Jane) quilt and run a local bee on it, which means I have to at least attempt to keep up. I just finished a quilt for my hubby's grandmother, the picture is posted under the Picture section entitled French Braid if anyone is interested in looking at it. I'm hand appliquing a bunch of lamb blocks for my granddaughter, who is due to be born in mid-November, for her baby quilt. I'm also doing a 'Paint Chip Challenge' in my local guild and am working on a tablerunner for that.
I have been working on a UFO, several in fact. I'll have to take a picture of my neutrals quilt to show off. It's my baby and I thought it was done but then hubby decided we're getting a king sized bed and suddenly I needed to make the quilt bigger, much bigger. Dang it all! After a lot of thought and some input from a dear friend, I came up with borders that should look as if they were designed with the original quilt in mind and not slapped on for extra length. Of course, I can't just do something simple. I am appliquing circles; lots and lots of circles. I'm even stuffing them to give them a bit more dimension.
Hopefully I'll get something finished so I can post pictures soon.

This is a wonderful idea. I'm new here and joining in AUGUST! That'll be 5 UFOs to finish this year. Have many UFOs, not sure which I'll start on. Been busy making Quilts for Kids and I love doing that. They get finished!
It's nice to see the encouragement offered by the participants here.

I have been reading this thread and laughed when I got to here, you see here I was thinking about how inspirational it was reading all these posts about projects being finished when I realized that my 3 UFO's weren't really UFO's at all so I don't have any UFO's as mine are still WIP's :D I think I can relax a little after all
