    These weren't a big project, but they are finished. I consider anything I had before the beginning of 2017 a UFO. Just prior to retiring, three years ago, I purchased a lot of kits as well as yardage. Now I am trying to work my way thru all the kits and fabric. It will be some time before I get thru them all! Will just keep plugging along. This thread has really helped me get some done.

    cherry...great finishes. I really like the one with the cross stitching....so pretty!

    Sophie....nice bags.
    I started a bag a few years ago. I had the pieces cut and then got bogged down because I didn't understand the pattern directions. I gave the pieces and pattern to a local guild. I don't know if it ever got finished.

    My LA guild meets this weekend, and I will be taking a UFO Lone Star (in Carolina Panthers colors - black,silver, teal and white) for what we call "throw down". That is, it gets spread out for everyone to see and give ideas on the quilting patterns.
    I'm going to try to attach a pic of the design that I'm thinking about using for the big, open corners of the Lone Star. I used Lisa Calle's method of "Divide and Design" to come up with this design. Is this too fussy? It will be on black fabric, and I'm thinking of using black silk thread.
    That design is gorgeous! If you have the patience to do it, and do the rest of the star in equally dense quilting, I think it will look absolutely fabulous! I can't wait to see the end result. My only concern is that black on black won't be visible, so much of your work will be lost to the casual viewer. I might be tempted to use a charcoal grey, or something just off-black so the stitching is visible. Maybe quilt a sample, as someone suggested.

    Now how had I missed several pages when I looked through a few days ago?! Sure glad I found them this morning. Just gorgeous completed projects everyone.

    Can't believe I have completed no UFOs this year. Did better last year when I was in a walking boot on one leg and a knee brace on the other! I sure hope as soon as I get what seems like my never ending bargello projects done I can whip up two that are in the needing sandwiching phase.

    Those are lovely finishes, cherry! The animals are darling (sometimes the animals on baby quilts strike me as a tad bit scary, LOL).

    Pretty bags, Sophie!

    This is such a wonderful, busy thread! 108 pages! WOW!

    Here's my latest UFO finish.

    I couldn't resist this "Wander" fabric at JoAnns, so I made it into a quilt for our travel trailer. Finished it just in time for our upcoming glamping trip.

    The pattern is Twisted Happy Blocks Quilt, a free pattern from MaryQuilts.com. (Check out her website for some great free quilt patterns.) I adjusted the block size to accommodate my fussy-cut squares. DH had a 9" plexiglass square cut for me at a local shop. They only charged him $1, and it was perfect for me to use to square up the blocks.

    The quilting is SID and ruler work. I used the Westalee Sew Steady 5.5" Spinning Wheel 36 template to stitch the centers of the blocks.

    I also made a couple of pillow covers. I'm going to give one of them to a neighbor.

    OK, so here is my one and only finish so far this year
    It is embroidered animals, with some 3D effects for the lion's mane, the giraffe's mane and the other animals' whiskers.
    I have to finish the binding, which I'll do tonight, so I consider this one FINISHED!!
