2016 UFO Challenge of the Month

Ditto here too! Wishing you the best in your continued healing and therapies.
Finished my 80 Step 4 so that I can wrap presents this weekend and work on baking next week. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't get the purples to show true color, they are all purples, not blues

Tweety, I see purples on my screen and wow, isn't it great when you finish up a stack like that? I just made 22 four patches starting from scratch, and including squaring them up at the end. I feel very accomplished!!
My next task is making 19 friendship star blocks... that's a lot of HSTs! So after this break to rest, it's back to cutting for those. They are going to be scrappy so that will be fun cutting! I already have the fabric pulled so the hard part is done. LOL

I didn't manage to get any done, in my defense I started here late. But you all have gotten me up and started again. I haven't done any for the past couple of years but thought it was about time to admit that I was as recovered as I'm going to get. I finished the tops of two and am almost done quilting another. Will continue next year. now that you got me going. I love seeing what everyone has finished. Great job all!

And of course all the holiday craziness... and lots of overtime on my job.
Hubby had knee surgery two weeks ago, so I've been sitting with him in the living room, working on a couple of UFO's that needed frogging before I can even begin to finish them. One has been completed (the frogging bit, I mean), the other will take awhile. But it gives us some time to sit together - he's binge-watching Andy Griffith, and "the Real McCoys". I'm sitting there ripping stitches, not really listening, but just being there if hub's needs something.
So, for me, my final tally will be 12 UFO's completed this year. Compared to some of you, that's not much at all, but compared to what I've done in the past, that's pretty darn good... and I DID meet my personal goal of average of 1 per month.
I'm SO looking forward to next year!!
Just in case you feel unappreciated, Janice, we LOVE how you've been our engineer/encourager/count-tracker and all the things that pertain to managing this thread. Thank you so VERY MUCH!!!!

Yes, I have had these blocks and/or the appliques to finish blocks for that long. I actually like how it turned out and it ended up being a California King so I can send to my daughter in Denver. Good thing I don't get attached to these blocks. LOL I even got to piece the back. Not sure that was an honor, but it did bust the stash a bit so I can hit some good Christmas fabric sales. The backing was from one of those Black Friday sales years ago that I got a great price on. Hubby asked why I pieced it, I asked him if he really wanted me to buy more fabric. Yep, he got quiet. I used varigated red/green Magnifico thread on top and So Fine red on the bottom with a Baptist Fan missing the buttons that were already sewn on and the crystals. When swapping blocks, do not put embellishments on them. Find your block.
Have a Wonderful Christmas everyone.
