I am jumping on board a little late. Just found this great forum and I badly need it to get some projects finished. One quilt dates back 20+ years. Yikes! But most are a bit more recent than that. I get hung up on the quilting, put them away and say.....soon I will quilt you. But, that never seems to happen. I machine quilt smaller ones but the process has always been hard for me. I take large ones to long arm quilters. In between I do many, many small projects. I seem to get those finished pretty fast. My first UFO will be a Christmas tree skirt that has never seen Christmas. Then, on to a baby quilt.
BTW.....I Love all the already finished ones for 2015. Congrats, everyone. They are awesome.

Three more UFOs finished, the first one is a TenMinute table runner and mug rug a gift started in 2012. The 2nd one is a machine embroidered Christmas wall hanging I started for our daughter 2 years ago. The last one is a quilt block made in school by our DGD when she was in first grade. I decided to make a wall hanging for her new bedroom, she is 13 years old.

Nice job Gramquilter, and I am sure you DGD will love what you did with her block.

Marich52, thanks for the name of the pattern.

I am making progress on my first UFO for 2015.

Love seeing all the latest finishes. The wall hanging for your DGD of her early art work will be a treasure in years to come. For me, a ufo is anything I have begun and not finished plus...all the partially finished projects that a quilting friend send me because she is tired of them. You can see why I will NEVER be done. Then my quilt guild usually has project to be worked on so I don't get a ufo finished very often. And if that isn't enough, I start something else. Someone gave me a brand new very nice heavy-duty t-shirt but it had a logo on front and larger logo on back. Neither was something I wanted to walk around wearing so I added orphan quilt blocks to cover them up. So that was my finish for today. But it meant that I got to spend some time sewing and that makes for a good day. Plus I have a shirt to wear for everyday that now sports a little sheep block on front and a large cat block on back! :-) Will make people stop and ask me about them, I imagine. LOL!

Hey SANDY! I have several ufos that I would love to finish. I finished up 5 last year twin sized quilts which was super for me. I unfortunately do not have an empty bin! I have a table topper that I would like to add too. I have a quilt that definitely needs finishing. I have to large throws that need finishing. see I do have things in visual range but have I don't them? do I keep starting new things? YES I DO. what is it with that? the real problem for me is I don't quilt. I make quilt tops. my quilting skills have gone to hell so I now keep myself to just making the tops. I am so fortunate to have quilting friends who have been kind enough to quilt for me. I cant say enough how much that means to me I am determined to finish up those ufo's and will post pictures as I go! I need to stay away from making new things. sigh. no way. I have fabric that needs stuff made with it. It talks to me all the time use me use me!

Only one of these counts as a UFO because the t-shirt (see post # 126) was a start and finish the same day project. But the sweatshirt/jacket, I received at least 5 years ago, from a friend in a state of partial completion! She had included the sweatshirt sleeves but not the fabric for them. Back and front were sewn together with binding only on parts. I finished binding the neckline and one side of front. Then used brown bias tape for sleeves. It is a vest now and since I do not wear vests, it will get donated to the senior citizens center thrift shop here in town. Including pics of front and back of t-shirt. The business logo was a bit risque for my taste to wear in public. :-) So that is how I have spent my few quilting hours in past two days. I used heat n bond ---just a little to make pieces stay in place until I could get them sewn on.

This description is too too funny!

...It is how I work, too.

I have a friend who also quilts who comes over a couple times a week. She doesn't understand why I don't stick with one project & get it done. (done, done)

You've explained it better than I ever could.

I love your quilt! I made this same one for my daughter before she was born. It's cool to see another's colors and quilting. : ) Great job!
