    Question of the day: if we go on a trip and lose 2 UFO's that we're in a baggie, does that count as being completed? It is technically out of the �� and as far as I'm concerned I can't complete the project anymore. I just wished I had not lost them on my trip. Oh, well, I guess I was not meant to complete these projects.

    The projects everyone has complete looks nice. I love them all, big or small.

    Oh my not sure what to think of loosing one much less two although there are a few I would like to cough cough loose. This is my first UFO finish for October. I remember thinking it was bright and happy. I used scraps and stash to make the flimsy which is from the blog sewing is more fun then housework ( cause isn't it) and the backing also came from stash and was equally happy. I just stitched in the ditch and did a simple wave down the rows. I wish my sewing machine had a serpentine stitch

    If you started it, Zozee, and it languished, it's a UFO. I don't think it matters if you started the back first ! Toot, Toot and congrats!

That's why it felt like a UFO to me. And because there was a long pause between piecing and binding. It was nagging me, a "got to" not a "get to" quilt. Anyhow, enough whining. It's done, I'm glad, and some little girl in a country far away will receive a baby doll from me, wrapped in this quilt.

    JuanitaBean, congrats on your UFO finishes and your Blue Ribbon! I love the scrappy and the heart in the center. Wonderful idea. Toot, Toot!

    I also did a crazy quilt I had in a box for three years. Didn't have enough sq. so had to make a heart to finish it.

    Default September Tally

    Since my last post with names of UFO finishers, several more of you have added finishes to the September Tally and the mini-challenge. Those who recently finished some UFOs are Altairss, QuilterMomma, KrisB, Rryder, KwiltKrazy, MadQuilter, Tlambling, Zozee, SheriR and JuanitaBean. Congratulations, Quilters! Toot, Toot! You have helped to push September's total to a big 27 finishes. Twenty-seven! Ok, ok, it's not the 30 of the challenge but it is so darn close, I'm calling it a win.

    And that brings this year's total UFO finishes through September to a whopping 353! Congratulations one and all for pushing this train along the track yet again. Toot, Toot!!! Great job!
