Now that's just too purdy!!!!

Krista and kaelyn - what beautiful quilts! Well done to both of you.

I will join you but only when I get a chance throughout the day as I as my day was already spoken for. I have two things I really want to finish today.
1. A scrappy baby quilt. I got to finish sewing the squares on and then I am done with this little charity piece. 2. Make a dog bed, so I can use up the rest of my scraps and get them out of my way! Having these two things done allows me to get done to some real projects next. |

It is triangular log cabin. I got the paper piecing pattern from CompuQuilt http://www.compuquilt.com/CQFreeBlocks.htm.
Its not really hard to do, just time consuming. I figured out what size to make each piece and strip cut everything. I actually have enough blocks started to do another baby size but I'm ADD when it comes to my projects, so I filed the leftovers away for later. |

I even changed the container I kept mine in, fearing it might have had the powers of the Stone Soup kettle, but apparently the container is not the problem. Please share your secrets with us as I am sure there are many who would benefit. |
Just what I need to continue finishing the LOOOONG list of UFO's I have - I'm always so anxious to move on to the next idea I have - and I loose track of what I've got waiting. I have one in the drawer that I had lost for nearly 15 years. Finally found it - still haven't finished it. Did just finish one I started 4 or 5 years ago - will post it as soon as it has a picture.

I keep trying to get my UFOs organized into 'I will finish" and 'I will donate' and I keep getting distracted! This is the year I will finish some, though! I promise!

Hi, I'm new to the Quilting Board and would like to join this group. I have at least 20 UFOs I'd like to finish. This month I finished 2 just in time to get them into the Tucson Quilters Guild Show. Got a 3rd place on one of them. Yahoo! So, my goal is to finish one a month for the rest of the year. That should at least make a dent in the UFO pile!

Gorgeous!!! Love your color choices and the pattern is amazing!

When I got a long arm last July I decided it was time to do it - but of course I needed to get better at my skills first, because I do love this quilt (that was November's excuse, when this quilt came up for the UFO challenge). Finally, this month I said Enough! I made myself load it on the long arm before anything else, so that I had to finish it. And here it is! I lost a fight with my rotary cutter in the process, but my finger is healing and the quilt is complete and now resides on my son's bed. A whole year before he goes away to school :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]388994[/ATTACH] And a closeup of some of my quilting. I did stitch in the ditch around the stars, after this picture was taken.
