    Thanks...mine is 75" square, I think. I added a border fabric to make it larger..I used navy sashing. Maybe I will quilt that one next.

    Wow, that is beautiful Annie.

    And to think I have that many 2" squares cut up already and barely made a dent in my scrap stash.

    Very pretty, Anne2016. I'm glad Oksewglad asked if it was a Growing Up Odd quilt and that Wildyard shared the tutorial.

    Thanks to everyone for sharing pictures of your UFO's.

    Yesterday, I worked on the quilting on my bl/wh/grey quilt. I got over half finished. Hoping the rest will get done today. It is stitch in the ditch so it is quick to do.
    I have had a few walking foots(feet?) over the years. I had problems with keeping the stitch in the ditch area. For me, this walking foot that came with my Brother pq1500 is the best one so far. It has a narrower distance between the two feet that sit on the presser plate. It helps me stay focused on the ditch.

    How are all of you train riders progressing with your projects?

    Thank you Anne2016 for that 2.5" square finish such a lovely to me.

    Thanks Wildyard for the link on that tutorial on that pattern.

    Got a couple finishes on the plate just trying to get the hang of transfering the pix and post them. That a process that's bigger than stitch-in-the-ditch. Happy Sewing Day

    I have an anti-UFO story to tell. It looks like I will be able to complete a project start to finish without it ever making it into the UFO bin. Now THAT'S RARE for me.

    That is a thrill isn't it Martina!!!!

    Oh, I did not tell you, but I got new lighting in my quilting/family room last night. WOW! what a difference it makes. I know, I need a new ironing board cover, but it is on its way. No more yellow photos for me and I can see what I am doing. The blocks are a swap I am doing over at MyQuiltPlace.com. You can also see that I am nearly done with two more UFOs. Have to put borders on the bargello and the one behind it just needs it backing pieced. [ATTACH=CONFIG]571484[/ATTACH]
