Congratulations on a huge accomplishment. I admire your resolve. When you finish them all you will have to do a "bed turning" (I think that's what it is called). Your color choices look similar to mine and my wife's. I'm looking forward to seeing all your finishes. Do you have plans for all of them?

That is an amazing accomplishment Jo! I can see that your quilt inspector thinks so too. They all look beautiful!

Good for you! I have a bunch of UFOs that I need to finish. I was working on them, but then life interferred. I hope to finish most of them this year, since I am trying to finish them as part of my two guilds' UFO challenges.

What an accomplishment! Just curious, do you have plans for where all these quilts will be destined?

I can identify with this. I love the cutting process, piecing, and binding. Hence the pileup of tops. I love your quilts.Would like a better look at the first one (first one on top of the folded pile). Love the color combination.

I am in awe that you have that many tops to begin with and then to sandwich them all & quilt them too (I'm assuming one after another) I'm a beginner so it's all one quilt from start to finish before I'l start another. Although I do keep the finished quilt until it's birthday time. I have 6 kids & 9 (so far) grandbabies to make quilts for, so far I have 1 of the kids quilts done & starting on the next kid in line, but ran out of back ground fabric

, hoping it will be here when we return from vacation. I just got a Janome 6600 so I'll be doing my 1st quilting on it. The 1st quilt I done was QAYG, didn't care for that though too much work. Hoping with my bigger machine I can do it faster & easier. BTW beautiful quilts & I too want to see more pictures.
