Nice finish Dedamac. Looks like a fun pattern and love the blue batiks. Great job.

Nice finish Dedemac. I finally pulled out a UFO and realized why it is a UFO. I am not sure how to quilt it. As it will be donated, I will probably just do a quick cross hatch. May not be the best option for this pattern but it will get done

Thank you 'happylab,' 'jmoore,' and 'cjsew for your kind thoughts, it helps me to stay motivated on those other projects,

Dedemac that is a pretty piece that you completed, I like blue also

Happy piecing everyone---cherrybsixty

I was able to get the Sister/Brother Horse panel center completed in mid-February. Mostly I like the borders I came up with. Next time, I will think of something different for the corners.

I had 2 days off and managed to get the bindings on 3 of Ben’s quilts I had quilted - they were small-ish quilts. The big one the binding is sewn onto the front and hand stitched about 1/2 way around. Then I have one ( still Ben’s) it’s quilted, that has a flannel back, pieced front that’s fairly large that I pulled fabric for the binding and found ( I think) the last one of his left to quilt.
i loaded my Jinny Beyer Lotus quilt to get quilted and managed to start it today. So, I accomplished some ufo progress these 2 days. Back to work tomorrow for a busy 7 days; next week, Friday Saturday Sunday I will try to get that binding on the flannel backed quilt, finish the hand stitching on the started one and make more progress on my quilt. During breaks , slow times at work I’m making progress on a flannel quilt as you go hand embroidery project. Slow but making progress. It will be nice to get the last of Ben’s finished and sent to him. I have 2 big ( kingsize) tops of my own to quilt and 4 or 5 smaller ones. I decided to work on one of mine before Ben’s final one for a few reasons but the biggest reason is I want to gift it in May, and I’ve been working on Ben’s quilts since last September while mine just sit in a stack.

Working on quilting my 2020 Covid quilt. Almost half done. Will post a photo when bound and ready to move it to the finished pile. By the end of the month for sure. Fingers crossed that it will be sooner, so I can quilt another UFO. Three Cheers for Finished UFOs! Hip, Hip Horrah!

Motorcyclemad, bravo on your finish

'ck,' and 'WMUT,' the sound of motivation really sounds great looking forward to pix from you both

Happy sewing everyone

Very lovely colors Dedemac, I’m a big fan of batiks and blue batiks. I like the background batik color too.

FYI = VQW started tonight.

this weekend I’m working on a 2 year old ufo king size mystery quilt. My goal to complete the top and set it up to be quilted. I just haven’t figured out the backing fabric yet.

I also need to quilt the top that’s on the quilting machine now, yep it’s an UFO. So I expect to have 2 UFOs done this month.

'happylab', I am joining you over on the 'VQW' thread and hope to see some of what you got going on there. I'm not working on a 'UFO' this month. The thread got me inspired last month and I did finish a project that I had cut out for about three years. When I start putting it together, it just went so easy. Why do we do that to ourselves? Start a project and then get side-tracked with it. I do need to find some border and backing for it.

Happy piecing everyone
