My creative productivity has gone into overdrive since January, but my posts here have been way behind. :/ The tote was finished Jan.24th. The other three quilts were completed Feb.27-Mar.3rd and have already been received by the MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston,TX for their online quilt auction Oct.26th - Nov.9,2011. They will also be shown at the Houston Quilt Festival. The auction fundraiser is for Ovarian cancer research (of which I am a 6yr. survivor).

Judebug, your finished projects are all fabulous. I especially like the pattern on the purse/tote. Simple yet beautiful!

I would like to be part of this challenge. I'm going to start for April. It will take the rest of March to decide what to work on since I have so many to choose from.

I moved last fall and my mother was helping me pack. We came upon a whole pile of UFO's. She asked me what I wanted to do with them, and I told her to put them in a box and mark it as "UFO". She gave me a very quizzical look, then I had to explain what that meant. I literally stumbled across that box yesterday. When I opened it, I was astounded at all the work I had already completed. Today I am taking the quilt top to the library to borrow a table so I can sandwich it and baste and get it to the point to take it home to quilt. Wish me luck with the quilting part though. I've never machine quilted a Q-size before. Read many forums last night and watched several video clips gleaning all of the helpful information I could find. Going in with a positive attitude that if it can be done I will be successful. Probably coming out though with a few more gray hairs from the process. :-)

Please keep us posted how you do. if you can do it so then, can I. Working on a queen size top. :-)

Um, first gray hair. Backing will have to be pieced. But at least it's 3/4 of the way pinned. I should be able to finish that part using my floor or bed. Need to keep closer track of what the finished dimensions were supposed to be. LOL, :lol:

Bravo for beautifully using those donated blocks. Congrats that you are a survivor! :thumbup:

My official "score" for the day is while looking for my UFO that I wanted to finish, I ran across a storage tote that was half full of brand new fat quarters and larger pieces of fabrics. Must hide them now and forget about them until this UFO is finished!
