You did it! Congratulations on your finish! Toot, toot Blue Bell!
I finished by binding on my Farm Girl Vintage a few minutes ago. Sorry no picture but it looks very much like the quilt on the cover except, I didn't use yellow for the border. I used a BLUE floral. My daughter is claiming this quilt. I wish that I could send a picture.

Ok Janice, I'll accept this challenge. Let's see, I have 2 small projects just waiting to be finished ...... My Chubby Churn Dash wall-hanging is the closest to being done, so I'll try and finish that by midnight April 8th.

Thanks Leta And Janice. About that new challenge...last fall I made a table topper using quilt as you go with double joining strips which I fused down in the back and then machine stitched from the front. However, after using it on the table for a couple of weeks I realized that there were several places where the joining strips didn't get caught on the back when I machine stitched them and because they'd been lightly fused it wasn't immediately obvious. They need to be stitched by hand and I've been putting it off since last fall. Since I really don't like hand sewing can I count it as a finish for the challenge if I fix all those spots????? ![EEK!](https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images/smilies/eek.png)

So glad you got to sell a piece Rob. Wahoo.
Jaba don't forget to post your swap block photo for the swappers to see...and maybe push them to finish.
I am putting my playthings away. Plan on finishing up my swap blocks and a couple gifts to doctors in next few days. Projects all bagged up and stored. Hopefully will be on the road in a week. Still trying to locate a chiropractor who deals with concussions on Eastern Long Island or we can't leave FL.

Rob, As far as I can tell, YOU think the piece is unfinished so it's unfinished. It counts!

OK, OK, I'll take up my own challenge. See my avatar, the star nine-patch? It's 18 inches square and has been hanging on the wall near my sewing machine for at least a year and you've guessed it, it's never been quilted.
I'll quilt it and bind it for the challenge. Lead by example, right???
Also, are there any last minute posts for the month of March? I'll wait until Sunday or Monday before posting the tally for last month in case someone hasn't had a chance to let us know yet. I thought I'd have my LA'd quilt bound by now but when it came back from the LA, I noticed some issues with it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to meet with the woman until next week and I don't want to bind it until I learn if she can fix it. Bummer. I really thought I'd have a March finish. Oh, well.
