I managed to complete 8 of the 12 on my list. But I jumped off the list and finished a couple of others. Im happy with my year of finishes and hope to complete more next year. I have a pretty big backlog waiting.

I completed 15 quilts this year, the majority of which were UFOs, some from LONG ago, so I consider this year a success! There are still UFO's to go on my list, but I'm going into 2026 with a lot off of my shoulders!

WMUTeach, congratulations on finishing your Harrisburg quilt. It's beautiful!
I finished the first of the many 'kits' I put together a few years ago. It was a free pattern, 'Hugs and Kisses,' for the latest grandchild in the extended family. I've started sending quilts out for quilting, and I've been very pleased with the results. This one came back from the quilters just in time for me to send it off to arrive for Christmas, but I was so intent on getting it packed up, I neglected to take a photo. The only photo I have is this partial one, where I was considering backings. I ended up using the border fabric for the backing.

Yay, Quilt MOM. Good for you for persevering and finishing the quilt from your friend. Take a bow and revel in the notion of Chip sitting in the blind with a cup of coffee snuggled in the quilt your brought to a finish.
Lena, Quossum, Joe's Mom and others too, It is so good to hear about the pile of quilts that you have finished this year. I would love to now how may the whole group has finished this year. Everyone seems to have been so productive. Well, next year!
Congrats.

#15 for the year 2025 called Sangria by Wings in a Prayer, came out just under 105 x 105 and quilted to death. It will go on my sister's bed tomorrow. Took over 100 hrs of set up time plus stitching time. I used over 8 bobbins so that sort of tells you just how much quilting went into the darn thing. Just glad I was able to finish it in time for this year's count. Have another Wings in a Prayer quit to start in January called Forest Floor and my sister's son has already nabbed it as his inheritance so that sort of tells you he must like it and all he saw was a fuzzy photo of it not quilted. Here's some photos of some of the blocks. I think I can call this quilt "Quilted to Death".

Snooze, beautiful quilt and quilting! Congratulations on finishing it.
I have finished 4 this year. The oldest was a BOM I did in 2018.
I have 4 more to finish. 2 are finished tops and the blocks are made for the other 2. However, I will be changing the pattern designs on the 2 that are only blocks.
