Jameswife, YAAAAY!

I brought one of my UFOs to camp, had a good friend look it over. It's my coffee mug of the month wall quilt. I had MQ'd it and got the binding and a hanging sleeve on the back...but it still seemed like it needed something. So I had my buddy look at it; she didn't think it needs anything more, and with her input, I had to agree.

So it looks like I will be stitching the binding down, sticking a fork in it, and calling it done!

Well I haven't visited this area in a while. Out of sight out of mind. lol Well I just added up my UFO's. Not as many as I thought. I have finished up a few this year. I have 12. 7 Quilt tops ready to be quilted, 5 quilt blocks half finished and a couple BOM. Not bad considering I thought it was way more. My goal is to get these finished by years end. What are your totals?

Lori, unfortunately, my totals are increasing...! Actually, the chronic UFOs aren't so bad, but I now have several WIPs (Work In Progress) that need to be addressed BEFORE they turn into UFOs:
--I Spy/ABC quilt for little Max (top done!)
--Summer Porch for Jack (rows done, need to put them together and put on borders)
--El's 'Don't Fence Me In' pattern (from "Still Stripping"), made from some luscious Moda jelly rolls (need to brainstorm borders...can't decide what to do with them!)

The biggest UFO right now is the house in Ramona. Hoping this will change soon.

Well it looks like I'm in good company. lol

[CaroleJ]

It hasn't had a chance to become a UFO, but I am hand-stitching the binding to the I Spy/ABC quilt...may be able to give it to little Max today at the park!

Yeeee-HAW!

Yeah, school was out for the kids today at noon!!! Now I can reclaim my life. These are the UFO's that need concentrated effort, not just the 20 minutes here and there:

Queen sized QIAD quick fat quarter I started over 2 years ago. Top is done, it just needs quilting

Queen sized double wedding ring quilt (done the QIAD way)needs quilting. It was done for a wedding that never happened so the pressure is off to complete it.

McKenna Art Quilt "At Home in the Woods" needs finishing but all that cutting, fusing and appliquing needs concentrated amounts of time

Rachel Wood's "Cats in the Garden" is another fuse, cut and applique quilt to finish

Two baby quilt tops are done, just need quilting. They have priority.

Oh my, I see I have broken my "only 3 projects at a time" rule!!LOL

Linda

[CaroleJ]

Linda, only THREE at a time, eh? LOL

I had a bit of time to hand stitch the binding to the back of my coffee mug quilt yesterday. If my eyes ever open fully, I may work on it some more today: 6-7 hours at Sea World yesterday and I am knackered! I can barely type, let alone be trusted with a needle!

Oh, Missy, I just peeked at the churn dash quilt; it's BEAUTIFUL! Love the look of blocks set on point and, of course, all the green! Great work!

[jameswife2003]

Thanks, Carole! This was my first diagonal set quilt, it was alot easier than I thought it would be. You can't really see the back, but it's of dasies and bees with heart shaped wings:) Since the flowers had green centers, I used green in the setting triangles, and I'm so glad I did! DH wants me to make one just like it to keep:)
