I've caught up on all the posts here, going to join you. Haven't been on the board in over a year or so. Still quilting but need some incentive to get those UFOs under control. Not sure how many there are- I keep them in a cubby in my fabric area. I did complete one- by boxing it up with the backing fabric and sent it to my friend in FL (I am in PA). Take that you stupid UFO. I made a queen, throw, beach bag, tote and purse for a fund raiser this year so I'm ready to attack some stuff. I'm taking a class on how to use my long arm next week so the goal is to finish up 3 tops I have waiting to be quilted. When doing the fund raiser I cut out 3 other queen size quilts (they didn't seem happy enough for the fund raiser) so I don't want them to become ufos, so I will make them up (one will be taken apart to become scrap fabric, I really didn't like it). One is sold and I want one for my bed. I also took a lap size quilt I made 2 years ago and added more quilting to it and my granddaughter's name so that's a UFO gone! (forgot to take a pic). First to finish some baby gifts for a shower this Saturday... keep posting, loving your finishes!

Cherry, thanks for asking about it. 
The new avatar is a "mini" I finished a couple of months back. I'd had the HSTs cut and languishing so for several years. I finally put it together. That's a quarter in the corner; it's 12 by 15 inches. It was an easy finish and I took shortcuts quilting it so I only had to lift the needle once or twice I think. I'm pleased with it.

Allspot #1210, that a great finish, glad see you back, hoping to see what you are working on now.Janice, I asked in a earlier post, but maybe you explained your picture of your new icon, I must have missed it? I know we are all busy with trying to get these UFO off the table and really don't have time to repeat ourselves. Just curious. Trying to prep a vintage motif of a top that is one those charity quilts. Once again that's another story.Happy sewing everyone

Belfrybat, congratulations on your three UFO finishes! Don't you just love that they're off your stack! They're each lovely in their own way. Way to go! Toot, Toot!
...I have three finishes. These were easy in that I had already quilted them so just needed to finish the binding. It always feels so good to have a quilt completely finished!The blue lattice was made at a quilt retreat in 2014 from blue squares left on the free table. I snatched them up and made this easy quilt.Bright Stars and the Teal scrappy were Mystery Train quilt rides led by Judy on this board. They are several years old -- 2 or 3 at least.

Belfrybat #1218, three finishes got to be great
Barbm #1224, good seeing you back to the board, I remember a swap in 2011 that you conducted I was a member (black and white bricks), I just started using some the fabric recently, would enjoy seeing pix of your work
Janice McC #1225, I know I was referring to it incorrectly, thought maybe I just missed the post. It's a interesting piece, congratulation on the finish
