Love that skewed setting. What a pretty quilt.

Yes I hope so. What I'm trying to is do is get some extra baby quilt made up for my 5 grandkids. They are not married yet so if I'm not here they will have something from me that I made for my great grandkids. Hope this doesn't sound bad.

I don't think so, JB....it'll be special gifts in the future from the past. :-)

JB that is a wonderful idea. I once made a baby quilt for a coworker who nearly cried when he opened it.

His grandmother had passed the year before so he did not think his son would have a quilt of his own to snuggle with like he did growing up as no one else in his family quilted.

I was so touched that it meant that much that him.

Hi, djmat! Glad you're joining us. Are your patriotic blocks put together yet? Mine made a great raffle quilt for my club.

Sophie, if it's from 2000, and it was sewing related, I'd say it counts as a UFO for the purposes of this board. It doesn't matter if it took an hour or a month, you finished it so toot, toot for you!

Congratulations, JuanitaBean! It's beautiful and into January's tally it goes. :). Toot, toot!

I believe I'd count individual finishes. If you make three projects from one old top, I'd count it as three UFO finishes but it's what you think that counts. :)

My patterns for patchwork animals should arrive today, so I will quickly finish a couple of critters this week from two yardsale tops.

So, wonder how many UFO's should I count this way? I'll be using up two tops, but probably be creating about 7-8 patchwork critters. I guess it could be counted either way, and in a sense, one critter would be like one small wallhanging or perhaps a mug-rug, right?

I haven't been posting in this area much, as I've been covered up with customer quilts, but I HAVE been watching!! Perhaps we're off to a little slower start this year, but I think we'll pick up steam as the year progresses.
