Congrats, Altairss. This one had quite a path to becoming a finish but you found a way. A classic color scheme; very pretty. Toot, Toot![QUOTE=Altairss;7661518]So since items made with orphan blocks count as UFO's I realized I had one more that I could post that I finished on the 14th. I have been diligently cleaning and organizing my sewing room out for the last three months. I have been putting all UFO's together into bins with any fabric sorting my scraps and made a home for those orphan blocks. One of the first I found were some larger white and black four patches made with charm size squares. They stuck in my head as I had not made any black and white quilts. Along the way I found a big stack of left over charm squares and decided to sort by colorways. I noticed I had a bunch of them in the white and black the same as what was in the orphans. These were left over from a quilt that I had made some I had colors I had pulled as I didn't like them some extra. I guess at some point I started putting them into four patches but then just forgot about them?

Anyway I pulled all those charms I could find and was able to make a few more blocks but not enough for a very big quilt. I set them aside again and a month later found some of the white yardage and some red scraps and started to come up with something. then set it aside again. I had two weddings coming up and needed something for the second one and since it was a more formal wedding and the red I added from scrap formed little bow ties in the corners, I thought this worked perfect. I finished putting this together just in time for the wedding. So some orphans some new blocks made with left overs and I had a charming little couch quilt. Finished out about 60 by 60. All told this started last year in April and in fits and burst this summer become something new.

And then this one: Toot, Toot again! Great job clearing out that sewing room! AND helping our count along the way

And I have one more finished today its a sorta new UFO. All those left over charms I found that I sorted well I thought I would make them into some quick flimsies. I did two in the Starbright pattern. My thought was I could have some tops I could make into quilts when I had a need. In the end I made four tops and put them aside. Storage became a question as where would I store them and how. But then I realized after about 7 weeks or so that all I had done was make more UFO's and as they were sitting on my big layout table they were constantly in the way.

  I have been arguing with several UFO's this year cause I no longer liked them and it was hard to finish them. My skills had improved so the mistakes annoyed me or the color. Or I no longer had extra fabric to finish them off. So I decided these new UFO's had to go why I still sorta like them and I had fabric that worked with them. So yesterday I basted this guy together did some very simple quilting and did machine binding. Now it's still ready to go to a new home when the right one comes along but I won't need to do anything other then fill out the label. I have the other starbright one basted and started to quilt it today so hopefully very soon it too can be posted. I need a better photo as the sun was setting but it will give you an idea

Is this a UFO finish? Sounds like it is from a previous post so I'll add it into the tally. Toot, Toot! Madquilter!

Wow, with the finishes in the last few days, you've pushed this train down the track with a total of 20 so far this month in our mini-challenge. Congrats, everyone! There are still a few days to make 30. It's a long shot I think, but who knows???

Yes, this is Mad quilters finish. I'll have my binding on tomorrow night and you'll get to see mine all finished. Fun to see another!!
Awesome job mad quilter.

I am so close with three UFO's but my schedule is nuts for the rest of the week so not sure if I can get any of them done in time. But at least I will have some for October lol

I'm digging around looking for a small finish but haven't found one. I've been busy in a swap so I'm creating a new UFO instead. Bad, leader. Bad.

WOW!!! Some fabulous finishes everyone. Loving your Krisbe. The soothing tones in that quilt sure make it unique. Good color value. Like the Halloween one as well.
Working hard on trying to finish up a couple more before Friday, but not sure it is going to get done. I came down with a cold now and trying so hard. If I don't help for this month, will make a great start for next. I finished up another top this am (after having to rip applique out and reapply). Will be an easy one to quilt, just have to have enough of me to go around.

I a bit behind, but I wanted to say that I love the Halloween quilt, Madquilter. Cute cute cute.

tlambing

Every last stitch is done! So, I "can" called it finished this time
Took a close up so you could see the spider web quilting. This was a FUN quilt!
