    TK, sounds like you are "this close" to having another finish. Can't wait to see it.

    So the question is, OhCanada, how many finishes would you say this is? One or Four? You say "another little UFO finish for March" indicating one but in my book, it might just be four. What do you think? Either way, congratulations on a darling finish! Toot, Toot.

    Such a pretty finish for your lucky soon-to-be born grand-daughter! (Remember when we didn't know these things in advance, the baby's sex I mean?) I love the prairie points and the colors are soft and inviting in the center and a bit bolder in the border. It has it all. Toot, Toot on a wonderful UFO finish!

    Another finish for this month and a very good thing...new grandbaby is going to be a little girl, due in August. Found some of the squares in a drawer while I was cleaning out, sewn but not put together. Decided to make a donation quilt, didn't know at the time it would be for my grand daughter[ATTACH=CONFIG]544479[/ATTACH]

    Jaba - I really like the colors you choose; but then again you do have a way with color. Just think now you will not be rushing around at the last minute to complete the baby quilt.

    I hate to admit it, but I still have a quilt I started for my Grandson that is not quilted and he is now 11. It is on my list to do, just not sure how to qult it.

    Oh Canada, your holiday dish towel and potholder are really cute.

    I am hand sewing the binding to my Queen Christmas Quilt and my King still need to get on the frame.

    Almost missed this finish of Rob's. Beautiful colors. Toot, Toot on another finish!

    Oh, dear, here's another finish I nearly overlooked. These are so nice. I do prefer the binding as you did the last 5. The squares seem to suit them better. Nice job! Toot, Toot!

I had cut and sewn on bias binding because I thought that the diamonds would look nice, but I did the rest the easier way and I think I prefer the checkerboard look. The other thing I simplified was the quilting in the border. The more complex pattern on the bottom left one was lost in the busy fabric, so not worth the effort. I learn something new with each project I tackle, I like that. My next UFO to tackle is to finish hand quilting a full sized bed quilt.

    What a beautiful quilt Jaba! I love the colors and the points on the border.

    OhCanada- nice towels and potholders-- they would be perfect in my kitchen! Did you hand appliqué them or are they machine appliqué? Either way, the stitching is beautiful.

    Nice Rob. Love the dot quilting. You're helping me to get out of the quilty box and see things differently. High 5!
