Carole, funny you should say that - I did indeed feel a bit dizzy last night... Otherwise, the sneezing is the biggest problem when trying to sew nice smooth curves by free motion... :-)

The leaves are all gone, and replaced with stippling.

Oh Maria, I liked the leaves. Just because they don't look like everyone else's leaves doesn't make them wrong! Well, it's still a very pretty quilt.

Talk about slow, would you believe I finally, just this afternoon got the binding finished on my Paducah quilt. LOL. Horse stuff and garden stuff got in the way. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

I am really hopeing to get one UFO finished by the end of April.

Thanks sunsup and grammy2 for the comments about my leaves... I don't like to think I'm a perfectionist, but I really didn't like the way they looked... :-)

As for UFO progress, I can report that this quilt is now only in need of binding before it is eventually done!

Okay, y'all...this is important!

As many of us have found, fabric scraps have an uncontrollable urge to reproduce and will multiply at will if not exposed to light and air on a regular basis. The periodic rotation of the contents of your scrap basket is vital to controlling their rampant growth.

Over the course of my research on this strange phenomenon, I have just discovered the same tendency with UFOs--! I found a UFO at the bottom of my UFO box that I'd swear I have NO memory of starting! The only reason I even spotted it was that the fabric in the bag was unfamiliar and I was wondering what the heck it was. The only explanation is that the disease is spreading from scrap baskets to our UFOs--!

This is irrefutable evidence that, like scraps, UFOs will multiply if left undisturbed in bags or boxes for extended periods of time. I urge all of you to take action now: go through your UFO storage boxes and bags to investigate the possible appearance of projects you have no memory of starting. This dangerous trend must be brought under control to prevent its spread to other areas of our lives and homes!

If we join together, we can conquer this!

Hay, at my age, I'm always running accross something I have no recollection of. LOL I don't need any more "unremembered" so I'll deffinately be exposing my UFOs and scraps to some light and air.

I decided to follow the advice to rotate the UFOs (since I am now in the process of binding my worst UFO) but was wondering... What do you guys do with the UFOs that you are not sure you even want to finish?

LOL Maria I am bad so don't listen to me.LOL I leave them as a UFO. Never know when one day down the road it may appeal to me. Or give it away. Someone else may think it is to die for and would love to complete it. I have done both. LOL

Hugs & Love
