Yes! I have half of my UFOs completed! whoo hoo!!! Yes!
I finished the binding on this quilt on Friday! It sure helps to have concentrated time to just work on one project!
You’ve seen snippets of this quilt, but not the whole thing. It’s not a great picture … I usually prefer to take pictures of my quilts hanging on the clothesline. The sun came out for a brief moment after the binding was finished. When I figured the patio was dry, I took this outside and got a quick picture.
This is a free pattern from Cindy Carter @ Seattle Quilts. This is the 2015 Fall Mystery Quilt in queen size.

Congrats on your finish! I LOVE those yummy free motion feathers and you can never go wrong with orange peels. You are half way to your PhD goal and we aren’t even half way through the year, give yourself a well deserved pat on the back.

Thanks, Tish! I love doing feathers & my second favourite is “C” – which most people know as orange peels! Thanks for encouraging me to give myself a pat on the back! Happy Quilting! 🙂

Hi Gail,
What a great finish, and I’m glad to see the whole quilt instead of those little sneak peaks! Yay you! Halfway finished and it’s only the beginning of April. That really is great, and this wasn’t an easy peasy finish either. Woot woot. I’m going to check out that link – thanks for sharing it. ~smile~ Roseanne

Thank you, Karen! The quilt is more burnt orange than red … and although I struggled with the repetitiveness of the quilting, I’m happy with the end result! Happy Quilting! 🙂

Way to go! I’m getting UFOs done, but not as many as you yet, and while the UFOs are getting done, more are being added. Yikes. This might be never ending! Haha!

Hi Wendy, I know the struggle with adding more UFOs as old ones are finished. I’m not sure if you’ve seen my PHD challenge. It’s finishing up half of the UFOs you have AND finishing EVERY project that you start in 2018 – with a few obvious exceptions. My goal is to get rid of ALL UFOs! You can check out the challenge here: https://quiltinggail.wordpress.com/2017/12/15/phd-in-2018/

Yes, I’ve been following your progress. I knew that I would struggle with that goal this year. Just tackling some of my UFOs will have to do. Most of my 2018 work so far will get done soon.
