    does this mean you have no UFOs and we have to start throwing tomatoes?? :hunf: :lol:
    I do have UFOs and they really bug me. I am making a quilt for my DGS right now and our Woman's Club sews clothes for bears and dolls over the summer to give to The Salvation Army for Christmas. We dress 84 bears and 100 dolls. I will be sewing on those, AOTH, my great grandson's quilt, and another UFO quilt this summer. I joined the UFO group on the board ...:mrgreen: :mrgreen:
    There's a UFO group on the board?? where is it? :shock: I just joined one @ my guild - but the more pressure on me the better :-P

    btw Losie - you will love your bobbin donut!!

    Hi, everyone, I am back from holiday, so back here in the fold. I took my big borders with me and two are now finished, except that I suspect I will be adding something else to them once I have them laid out and can assess them.

    I have been up half the night, so I am now off for a snooze, so I will catch up later.

    Welcome to the newbies, how many are we up to now Kathy?

    Wouldn't it be wondeful if we could have a group photo so we would know all of our quilting buddies? I love the fact that there are quilters at all stages of experience and from so many different coutries. :lol: :lol:

I was looking for different ideas for borders and, although most outer borders were done like she did it in the book, I really liked the one that the gal from New Mexico did with appliqued hearts all around, but boy, would that be a lot more applique. Anyway, there's lots of quilts to look at.
    from pg 103 ...woohoo almost caught up
    :roll:

    I think I may have posted this comment before - but seriously thinking of putting Aie's Water Lillies border on the AOTH once it's done

    it's so breathtaking! I actually love the blocks in that one too - trying to decide if there is any way I could blend the two quilts into one.... will see once I actually get my fabric and start sewing :lol:
