Here is my UFO Finish for the week - Bright Blue Strings. The blocks were from a HGTV Quilting Forum swap several years ago. I'll be back to comment on everyone else's projects... my main computer is kaput! at the moment and I only have access to pictures from my laptop.

asimplelife--that really is a fun quilt! The bright blues frame each "block" nicely. :)

Thank you carriem! I agree, I love how my eyes want to "travel" all along those shades of blue. I think it's so amazing how blocks from many quilter's stashes come together.

michelleoc: I love your March finishes, especially that baby quilt with the beautiful quilting and lovely soft florals! Way to go!
mimiknoxtaylor: What a great idea for those blocks! I hope I can remember that someday when/if I have grandchildren. Shadowirish: Your QAYG quilt looks great! I really want to try that technique. |

I was able to finish 3 this month for a total for 6 an my goal is to complete them all before the end of the year. I have not started any new projects and would really like to finish all UFO's before starting something new.
Good luck everyone and keep up the good work. |
Asimplelife: Your string quilt is beautiful! The UFO I hope to finish in May is a string quilt QAG. Want to take a rest from sandwiching.

I've set a goal of one UFO a month, and here is the finished one for March. I made the blocks years ago and decided to get them sewn into something. Wow, have my quilting abilities improved!! I even had to take some of the seams out and redo, clearly I didn't know about scant 1/4 in. and didn't realize the importance! haha. I put pink flannel on the back and it will be my nap time coverlet.
