Quiltmouse, If it gets things accomplished it doesn’t really matter the method used. It’s all about finishing something. Good work in getting things sorted so you can move forward.

Well finished another UFO from maybe 4-5 years ago when I started it. The only thing I had to buy is the backing. Everything else came from my stash and probably mostly scraps. This is a free pattern from Quilted Twins called Norwegian Snowflake and I I custom quilted it using what I thought was a perfect quilting pattern with snowflakes in the corners. Got it photographed yesterday so I'll be giving it to the recipent sometime next week as a gift. This quilt came out at 97x97. This will make m 5th quilt completed since mid March. I photogra[hed the back to show the quilting but didn't take a closeup on what I added in the corners of the borders. Words........Faith, Joy, Love and Patience.

Snooze, lovely work!

@Snooze2978 A beautiful finish! The recipient will love it. I love Becky's patterns. Her design eye is so different from my own. The things she does with sashes, just pow! I definitely want to make that pattern at some point.

Weekend Organizing Goal - clear off the piled up (pix in 2025 organize thread) design bed. I sew on a sleeping porch. The bed isn't clear, but I got down to the design layer. So, after a detailed vacuuming, I'll sew those rows together.

My April Number Two is DONE!

This is kind of cheating just a little, since this quilt already had the top finished and even the binding strip was made. All I had to do was make the back, quilt it, and bind it. I think this one is going to go to my nephew for his graduation in May. It’s a good size for a lap quilt.

This is a Merry Mayhem Mystery from 2020, so I’m very pleased to get it done and dusted!

Not a cheat Quossum! It is a finish! Here is my second for the month attached below. I couldn't remember if I posted it here or not. It was a not!

Cue the confetti and streamers. It is time to celebrate the finishes so far this month and we still have a week and a smidge to go before the month ends.

Quossum, I agree with WMU - you did plenty for that to be counted as a finish (especially as my quilt to be finished was at about the same stage, although I didn't have to piece a backing)! Love both yours and WMU's rainbow wash quilt.

Gemm, I LOVE those houses and how many of the doors have a character peeking out! Fantastic!

Wonderful finishes! Congratulations to everyone that has a finish and also to those of you working on your UFO.

@Gemm I looked at all your doorways, too precious the ballerina dress on a hanger, someone's getting ready for a recital!

I didn't complete my clean the sewing porch challenge. Got down to the design layer, bed surface. Need to drag out the vac and detail clean before I work on the quilt on the bottom. One thing I'd piled on the bed a few weeks ago was blocks finished June 2023, when I tidied up the 4 basket cart that I keep in process quilts in. Next need was sashing. I found the source, still had oodles, I cut some stop borders, and 50 ish sash units. At that time, I had connected 6 blocks. O dear. Apparently, those six blocks were sewn with Babylock Grace, I really struggle with 1/4" seam on her. No accurate foot, and the sewing line is near impossible to see through the feet. Constance (Singer 403a) must've been away at spa. The unconnected blocks are at least 3/4" bigger. Yeah. No way am I remaking six 81P blocks. I got my four blocks sashed and to attach, I took 1/8" tuck at the end of each of the 9 patches (9x9=81p) on the edge to get it to match. What a hot mess. It'll be the same when I go to attach the next row. An angry bear to quilt. Grrrr! Ha.
