I'm enjoying the photos of finishes. KEep up the good work, everyone.
Wondering if we could do something for Feb that really helped me stay on task (or at least light a fire under my procratinating butt) one year? You, happylab, pick a number --something of a reasonable guesstimate--of UFOs we , as a group, can knock out together. It somehow feels like I'm contributing to the bigger picture, working side-by-side, instead of independently, when I can add my finish to the chosen goal number. Am I alone in this crazy motivational mindgame? LOL

I'm hanging in there making string blocks. Thinking, "What was I thinking?" 300 is done 400 to go...

Dedemac.....coasters are so pretty. Well done! Even though it's not a UFO, I keep getting distracted on my Stars & Stripes quilt....did a couple of mini blocks and got hooked. Oops! ...Friday movie day but Saturday is all mine..DH out of the house for most of the day and I can spread out and do sandwich. Haven't heard from my quilter on panel quilt yet but I want that baby back so I can bind, tag, and ship. That one IS a UFO and I want it done.

What size are your blocks? 400 blocks more? wow! My imagination in running wild and would love to see a picture of a block if you feel like sharing. Good for you for staying focused...

I wish I could get sidetracked by other sewing! I'm in the midst of EOY bookwork and getting ready for tax appt in early February. I've been sorting HST's by size so I can utilize these pieces better.
Kudos to the finishers!

They should have squared at 2 finished but it was my first time at piecing quite that small. They ended up at a finished 2 1/4 then I added the sashing and squared. I have found that I love doing things in miniature, the only problem is the quilting, what to do for the proportions.

Working on Zozee suggestion. We will have a February challenge. Thinking out loud. We have 28 days in February. How about 35 completed UFO's for this month? An average of 1 a day plus 7. We can do this. I have a few just screaming for me to finish them. So come on show us work in progress and finished UFO's.

I pulled out another UFO last night. It was originally intended to be a jacket, with the "fabric" made from a jellyroll. Way back when, I had cut out some of the lining, and sewn some of the JR strips, but we all know how life intervenes. Well, 5 years and 30 pounds later, I wouldn't fit into the jacket if I had finished it, so I'm going in a different direction with it. I'll post pics when I a little further along (or finished, depending on how things go.)
