All I can say thank goodness the list inside my head is not considered UFOs. Now I want to try the table runner you made and pillow cases. And I thought the idea was to get rid of projects..... :)
You're doing a great job of cleaning up your UFOs.

Burnsk – beautiful! I love the kids ABC quilt. It looks like you’ve been having a lot of fun with your UFOs. Love the red toenails!! :lol:
I finally managed to take a picture of my May UFO. I'm still working on June's. This is just a wall hanging. I have taught the 'Half Yard Challenge' class that was shown on Fons & Porters several years ago. Basically, you take 5 half yard cuts of fabric, cut certain pieces from it, and design a quilt from there. So this is my own design. :-D I want to redo it in baby fabrics, adding a flying geese border around the entire edge to make it a tad bigger and usable for a baby.

burnsk - your quilts and table runners are great!
tiffany - I love your half yard challenge!
I and when I can ever get a new computer, this one is dying a slow death, I will post those pictures and any future ones. Maybe over the weekend I can con my DS into letting me use his computer, doubtful.

Thanks Lyn. I understand about the computer. Mine is on the way out and I think it's holding it together on a prayer and hope. :roll:

Stupid question from a newbie...what's a UFO? Is there a Quilting Board dictionary around here somewhere? : )
Thanks.
Thanks.

The way it works: anyone can be a member and there are no penalties if you're busy one month. Try to finish one UFO each month. Once it's finished, post a picture and description here. We'll ooh and ahh. Try to finish another one next month.
This can also work if you need ideas for how to finish yours or encouragement. I want this to be an area where we can support each other in getting through our UFOs for 2010.
And the way I differentiate a UFO with a WIP - a UFO is something that you put down awhile ago and don't feel a strong desire to pick up again since there are more exciting things to do. So pretty much any of those projects that you put into your closet and forgot about qualify.
So everyone's challenge/goal: 1 UFO completed by January 31, 2010. Good luck!
**********annoying Moderatorish note from PatriceJ**********
"finished" means all the way done and ready to use.
personally, i also count as "finished" anything i've given or traded away because i know i'll never follow through with it until it's properly done. (i prefer to give rather than trade. if i trade then all i get for my trouble is another stinkin' UFO! :lol:
SWAPPING is NOT part of this challenge. naturally, if members want to trade between themselves that's just fine. i mean only that it isn't a part of this and should be done separately between individuals.
here's wishing all of us good luck and LOTS of energy in 2010! :lol:

WannabeQuilter: UFO is UnFinished Object. This challenge is to finish all those projects sitting in boxes, waiting. I need to do this, too.
Join the fun! And if you have no unfinished objects this year, just wait until next (month/year?). Every quilter I know has at least one project that they started and did not, for whatever reason, complete! I hesitate to say how many I have. :lol: :lol: :oops: :lol:
