Please celebrate with me as I whittle down this UFO list that ended up with 50 items on it. That doggone UFO list had only 35 on it when I first made it, and then I found more that I had forgotten about. Well, I have given 1 away and now finished 5 in 2015. It feels good to be down to 44 left. BTW...I made a promise that I would get 20 finished before I could start any new projects. I have only 14 to go and I have 12 ready to quilt. It is not an impossible task for sure.

The Pink & Yellow was a precut kit I bought from a vendor on Ebay. The blocks that are framed with the black and white print were cut wrong and were too small. I added the black and white print and then repeated the black and white print as an additional border on the quilt.

The big block center pink was so pretty that I just didn't want to cut the center fabric so I made it into a quilt. Hobby Lobby had the two other coordinating fabrics.

The last is a pink kaleidoscope top that I bought from a friend. It went from her UFO to mine...like I needed any more. I finally got around to quilting it and finished the binding today.

WOW...all are beautiful. You certainly are inspiring. I've got WAY too many ufo's, too. Better get going. Thanks for showing. Can't wait to see more from you

Congrats on completing 3 UFOs! And, besides that, you have three wonderful quilts as well! I particularly like the first one. Such an interesting combination of colors and fabrics that go together so well!

congrats on making progress, and what beautiful progress you are making! I'm really attracted to the color scheme in the first quilt. Cool fabrics.

Great job on getting at least 2 done !!! Keep on whittling down your stack of UFOs. I am also trying to get some backing done for some UFOs so then they can be past onto a volunteered charity LAQ.

These are beautiful. I am working down on my UFOs too. This is my 3rd year and I think I will get them all done this year. It's a good feeling to get them all completed.

I wish I could get them all completed, but to get almost half done will be a success for me. A good friend told me one day, "Finished is better than perfect." She is so right. And, I am evaluating some of the ones that I don't really like any more. The friend who made the comment, took the ones she didn't like and made mug rugs, or pot holders with them and called them "Done." She really makes sense. My goal is to get the list under 10 and only have ones on there that I want to do.

And thanks for all the good comments on my quilts. These are some of the ones I started out with and lots less complex than several that I have that will be going on the long arm later this year. I still need a lot of practice with the long arm.

The secret for me has been making the UFO list and getting all my UFO's in only a couple of places. That way I go out and look at the list and pick the most interesting or least work to get finished. I'm off to the sewing room! Who needs breakfast? Coffee is enough!
