    Here is my November UFO , a ragtime flannel quilt, using up some shirting flannel I bought years ago when my boys were little.
    Feels good to get these things done.

    Seeing your quilt makes me want to grab a good book, a cup of cocoa and snuggle under it. I like your colors - nice and bright.

    I feel foolish asking this but, Im new to the Quilting Board and not familiar with all the lingo yet. What does UFO stand for?

    Not foolish to ask questions. We've all asked them. That's how we are all learning and sharing. UFO is: Un-Finished Object. Welcome to the board and ask away.

    I have finished quite a few UFOs since I agreed to this challenge--pics soon. Two in progress , so I better get back to work!
    Also, 17 UFOs went out in the last two weeks as quilt tops/ quilt top centers to organizations that have someone to machine quilt them.that feels GREAT! And reduced my work load!

    Do they count????

    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:

    Good day Ladies;
    I have one ufo that can be finished for Jan. Do I show it now or when It if finished?
