Dancing Needle: That is very sweet and I bet your mom is going to be thrilled!!
Granniebj: How sad! I’m sorry you lost your son. There is no pain to compare. It’s just wrong when we parents outlive our children. I bet your 18 yr old son will treasure this quilt all the more because it was made for his older brother!
You are too funny! I just love your logic. :lol:
I just need to finish the binding on my UFO for May and I’m good to go. I guess I should look into at least cutting the binding and getting it sewn on. It’s a multi-fabric binding. I’ve just had so many other projects going (started 3 new ones) that I haven’t sat down and finished this one yet.

no biggie. (ok. well, er, ummmm ... maybe my behind is a biggie, but whether or not i keep on schedule in quilting is not. :lol: )
all it really means is that i'll be ready for next year's UFO Challenge. so maybe i'm ahead of schedule.
the logic works for me. feel free to borrow it. :mrgreen:

I finally got my March one done and January pictured and mailed (it has been done since Jan 5 or so, but took me 2 months to get a picture!)! Pictures below. April's is waiting to go on my quilt frame. It would've been sooner but I accidentally kicked the frame and cut my toe :oops: :shock: so I'm not on speaking terms with it right now.

LucyInTheSky: Both of your UFO's, I mean X-UFO's, are great! The Army quilt with the camouflage fabric is really cool! I love the quilting in the other one. I'm going to have to give that a try. Great job! Doesn't it feel great to wittle away at the UFO pile? :thumbup: (Love the tally in your siggy line! Congrats on single digits!) :)

Ok, I just read all 38 pages and although I don't have but 1 UFO, I am behind in my BOM from fatcatpatterns. I did half of January and life got in the way and haven't made my way back... maybe with someone else knowing, I will force myself to catch up. Everyone's no longer UFOs look great!! I only hope that I can make quilts like this in the future ( I started last March with this hobby, but didn't get too far since I had baby number 4 in May) I have made one quilt and quilted with stitch in the ditch, but I want to do something different with the Downy quilt I have sandwiched. Can't decide what and am a little scared that I might royally screw it up. Anyway, thanks for doing this challenge... hopefully I can learn from you guys as you are finishing yours.
