Joe'sMom, Toot, Toot! Congratulations on your first UFO finish this year. The quilt is very pretty with such soft colors. I like the back you created as well. Nice job!

Tonight's update for March is that we've had another 4 finishes by tkhooper, elly66, juanitabean and joe'smom. Toot, toot to you! Congratulations on your finishes and for keeping your eyes on the target and finishing your projects.

This brings us to 19 UFO finishes for the month. We're slowing down now as expected after the first flush of finishes for the new year, but a nice steady pace is very good. Let's all keep working on our UFOs.

I've been lax in working on my UFOs although I do have one at the LA I'm waiting less than patiently for. Should have it this week and then it'll need it's binding. It should be done by the end of the month. And I ran across a small wall hanging that I might possibly put under my needle as I'm clearly not going to work on my bigger projects right now. It's only 18" square. I should be able to quilt that quickly and bind it. As the engineer of this train, I ought to be working a bit harder to lead but just like most everyone here, I'm a procrastinator! Ooh, I said that aloud, didn't I?

Lisa - your quilt is quite lovely. The crinkled look suits this quilt, and your pieced back is terrific as well.

...not choking, rolling around in them in glee. Love love love fabric. I've found that if I choose/design the quilting when I choose the pattern then i am more likely to push through. But I'm still just a novice quilter.

Joe's mom that is such a lovely quilt. Just gorgeous. Love those colors.

Finished binding on 2 UFO's this week while I was on vacation in the mountains. A big-block quilt and a log cabin table runner.[ATTACH=CONFIG]545393[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]545394[/ATTACH]
