First of all, welcome OhCanada to the UFO challenge! You've got your ticket so have a seat. Secondly, toot, toot for a beautiful finish! I love it when longterm UFOs are the ones completed and this one is definitely that, but well worth the wait. I'm sure it does liven up your quarters. Congratulations and welcome again!
I'd like to hop on board, I have about a dozen UFO's. Pretty much all are quilt tops which need to be quilted. So I'm going to try for one finish every 2 months. I'm not very fast at the quilting stage. I've been enjoying watching everyone's progress!
Here's my first finish for 2016. I pieced it more than 5 years ago. I was able to use a lot of small pieces from my scrap bin. I call it "Home is Not Where the Heart Is". Because it was finished in Islamabad, our home for the next 2 years. It has taken up residence on the back of the couch, brightening up our drab brown 'staff quarters'.

Toot, Toot! Beautiful scrappy quilt. (Scrappy is my number one favorite.) I like the way you sashed the blocks, the red border and then the meander quilting. Wonderful! Thanks for keeping this challenge rolling along!
I have a finish for this month! This top was started about 2 years ago, to use up scraps. I finished the top sometime last year, and finally got it quilted. Now it's off to Victoria's Quilts.
I also finished a couple of other quilts, but they aren't UFOs, since I just started them on New Year's Eve. They are over on this thread. http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...e-t275551.html

Thanks! Although that's not a meander - it's a pantograph done on my longarm. Just one of my (many) quilt tops waiting for a turn on the machine.

I stand corrected. 😊 What I don't know about "quilting" could fill a book. That's why I remain much more of a "piecer" at heart than a "quilter", and why I have upwards of fifteen UFOs. Regardless, I love the way it's quilted. Just lovely.
