Another completed project. Pattern pics came from an old magazine with a change for November to honor Poppy Day. This one was a joy to do. It took me many months and it was my first project using floss but I loved doing it. Not sure it could be considered a finish because the project was finished many years ago and there is minimal quilting. I wanted to hang it in my hallway. Then I changed my hallway wall color and no longer felt that my wall hanging was a good fit. I took it out this month and added fabric tabs and I will be hanging it in my sewing room.[ATTACH=CONFIG]579725[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]579726[/ATTACH]

Janice nice green and blue UFO. I like the colors.
anne nice green and orange UFO. I like the green fabric. The top looks nice. Your hand stitching in your wallhanging and quilt is pretty. It's a great feeling having a few UFO's completed.

Rob...that is another great quilt. very creative. I have this one bookmarked into my 'modern' folder. I have a 'scrappies' folder, a 'modern' folder and an 'unusual/interesting' folder. Now that I think about it, your quilt could go in either one.
...looks great and it's done!

I finally finished another UFO! In fact, I have 2 others just waiting for binding, but this one is comletely done and ready to donate. It is at least 2 years old, but I'd have to do some digging to find out exactly when I started it. I remember when I bought the fabric - my very first Kaffe Fassett, and I had no idea what/who I was buying at the time. But it made a great one-block Wonder. I used the green I had hanging around to extend the size a bit, and play with some alternate layouts. And then I realized it was still too small to donate to Victoria's Quilts, so I found some coordinating fabric and added the chevron border on one end. I wasn't sure about it at first (but I was desperate), but it's starting to grow on me.

Anne2016, I'd say they are both UFO finishes. It took something extra for it to be put into use so the wallhanging is a UFO imho. 
Also, your quilt for Goodwill be found by someone and loved. Congratulations and Toot, Toot for your two finishes.

This UFO had been around for a year. I didn't enjoy making this quilt and it will be put the Goodwill box asap. I had the green leaf fabric for a project that got changed and I wanted to use it to make a simple pattern quilt. I like orange and thought it would look good with the green. When I started putting it together, I came close to hating it. Once the top was finished, I was ready to throw it but I laid it aside and worked on other more enjoyable projects. I went through my UFO pile when joining this group and I saw it again and thought it needed to be the first UFO I finished but I couldn't bear to work on it. I kept putting it off. Finally, it is finished and I am so relieved.
