I also finished a purple star quilt in January. It had been hanging around for a long time, just waiting for binding. I won the blocks in a lottery at guild. It sure feels good to finish, and this will be going to a local charity soon.

Very nice, love the quilting on it also. Did you do it, or send it out? I have a friend who just loves purple.

Yes, the quilts that drain us of motivation need to go. I did a stash buster quilt last year and it did use lots of scraps but I really dislike it. I mean immensely dislike it. I am not going to to give it any more time. It is "outt'a here" someone else I am sure will find it lovely and will enjoy the end result. I am just not inclined to waste my time, batting and backing on a piece that I would not want my name on. That one is my January UFO of the month. Finished, nope, but out of my pile YES.

I finished a huge (for me) collage top over the weekend and am so relieved. I had never done collage before and signed up for a class at our local LQS in October. I've been pecking away at the thing which has been on our guest bed ever since. I don't have room for a large design wall, and I'd like the bed back so I can lay out a few other projects! This is Laura Heine's "Birch Street." Still needs quilting but hope to get to that on my trusty Elna ASAP.

I've had some time in the sewing room this week. One of the UFO's I picked to work on is from 2016, the 365 block challenge. I had all of January done in 2016 and started to slack off in February when the blocks got more complicated. In the last 8 years my piecing skills have gotten a little better and the 3 inch finished blocks that have 30 or more pieces no longer make me run. I have also been working on sewing up the crumbs, and I am up to 15 finished 4.5 square blocks, I don't know what I will do with them yet, but will think of something. I figure I will work on at least 2 of 365 blocks a week and get back to my GFG quilt for the DH.
Here are the two latest 365 blocks, now to find the box with the GFG in it.
