FYI I finally was able to post pictures of my December UFO finishes in the 2020 thread. I've been having issues transferring from my phone to my computer..think I have that solved now!

I have 2 tops ready to go to the LAQ as of today, I also have two tops at the LAQ right now, should be getting them back in the next week or two.
I have 2 T shirt quilts I will be working on this year for friends
I have the fabric for a two color quilt that I've been planning to start for several years now, this is the year to complete this one ( blue and white)
I have several block swaps from the last several years (boomarang swap) that I plan to get finished this year.
I also hope to do 1 top a month for church for donating to overseas and the local homeless.

Good use of all those odds and ends, Mona G!
I'm chuckling to myself. I was just looking at the pattern for your denim quilt. It looks like an easy pattern and maybe not as heavy as some denim quilts because of the big pieces. Am I right?

oksewglad: Congratulations on learning to post the pictures. Awesome quilts! It’s extra special that he has 2 quilts made by his sisters.
Mona G.: I love your scrappies!

Mona G, are those full completions? If so I'll add them to our count. If, like me, you have the top finished but still need to quilt them, I'll hold off on adding them. My RWB is finished, but not quilted yet so I haven't counted it.
It's nice to see the use of stash in scrappy tops.

Oh my, you all are so productive! Congratulations on all the beautiful finishes.
Well, it's February and I still haven't finished any UFOs. I waited for a couple of weeks to have some flannel delivered for backing a top, and then it wasn't enough! Argh!!! (Measure twice...) So now I'm waiting for an opportunity to get to my LQS.
In the meantime I started and finished two "bag bags" just because I had to sew something! Plus we needed them (haha) and they used up some scraps. But they don't count as UFOs!
In my defense, I am a homeschooling mom of two teens...
