PettheFabric and WMUTeach - congratulations!
I am happy to report one February finish: a set of seat covers. Here is a link to the picture: Seat Covers - (Anti-) Cat Protection - Quiltingboard Forums

Another UFO finish
(Audience is confused - didn't you just finish something?)
Yeah....this just needed binding ...2 years of waiting for binding. This is actually my 2nd quilt. Like ever. It was the first one I tried to quilt myself. So...many...pinches....I did a bad job basting and I think that's why. I was embarrassed.
But I'm trying to be kind to myself. Yes - I made a mistake. But I can make beautiful things BECAUSE I made mistakes ...and learned from them.
I'm not sure what the plan is for this. It's a nice size 56 x 72. I'm on the sofa enjoying some TV and it's very cozy.

What became my favorite quilt is the one I had to pick out because of tucks on the back because I was not careful with sandwiching. Thought I knew more than I did and was too self assured to ask for help! So I spent lots of time picking out all of the quilting.
Lessons learned.

Pet and Rff - great finishes! I'm getting closer I finished the back for a 2015 UFO
The first picture is the front that most of the blocks from a thread way back in 2013, we were doing a block of the month here.
Second picture is what I came up with for the back, I'm trying to use up scraps of black. I never realized how many different shades of black I had in my stash.
Planning on sandwiching this afternoon then think will only do some SID quilting. Unless anyone has another suggestion.
Time to get gluing!
