I started this little quilt early last year, thinking I'd get a jump start on what I donate to Friends of Alaska CASA silent quilt auction in November - finished it just a few days ago, just over a week before the deadline.:-) I hand-embroidered the little bird and machine-quilted the borders. A November finish, Janice.

Thanks to all who mentioned my quilt and made me feel welcome here!

I'm pretty sure I have only finished two of my UFO's this year, but finished a few quilts that were started this year, at least not adding to the UFO pile. I'm hoping to get one more UFO done before the end of the year.

I found I did have a picture of this little I-spy quilt that I started in April of 2012 and finished in April of 2017. I gave it to a grand nephew, who was born last fall. His twin sister got another quilt that had been in the UFO bin for some time, but it was finally finished a couple of years ago and kept in case anyone had a girl. I think this is about 42" square, all sewn on the machine. No excuse for it not getting done sooner, but it was kind of nice having something partly ready when I needed a baby gift.

Connie, Thanks. The larger designs I used were from www.embroideryonline.com . The leaf design in the striped border is the biggest one in this quilt. It was only about 5", but I enlarged it on my machine to 6" in order to make the repeats fit the length of the border. That website has quite a few designs for quilting. I used a 50 wt cotton thread specifically recommended for machine embroidery.

Glojean, The little bird quilt is adorable! It's sure to do very well in the auction.
