Congrats to tkhooper for her March UFO finish. Toot, toot!
I thought about buttonholes but I've never done them so I passed on that. I did free motion quilt around the holes for a stay stitch so I wouldn't have to worry about the batting coming through. It doesn't show because of the edge on the bulbs. I'm happy about it except that one of the bulb wires isn't long enough and wrinkles the quilt. I'll have to rework that part of the wiring. But I say finished. One UFO for March. At least I think it is one.

If it takes 3 months to do one ufo and it's a small one, what are my chances of making headway on the 5 I had when I started the year...considering i've added two new ones that I wasn't planning on at all?

It doesn't matter tkhooper, you're making progress. You'd be choking if you saw all my "to be quilted" in a stack. What can I say, I like the challenge of making my own design and sewing it....when I need it or even if I don't. When that happens, I'll get it quilted and done.

Hi all -
I have been missing in action for various personal, work, etc obligations, but not in spirit! I have popped in to look through the thread occasionally and enjoy seeing all the projects you have been getting completed! I believe this is quite a talented and motivated group. I think we are around 150 finishes so far this year....that is an average of well over 1 project per day! I am hoping to post a finished UFO again soon. Keep stitchin'

Nice use of color in the scrappy party block Juanita Bean--I bet that was a stash buster!
Lisa- nice job on your finish. I like the denseness of the quilting and the way you pieced the back using fabrics that coordinate with the front.
