Two of the 10 tops that I finished this year...

Well, I think this is the last of the tops for this year. It was at block stage for a while. As you can see, I just used the horse fabric for the border to use it up. That's all I had in Ash River. There is purple in the horse fabric...The rest will be the backing for the other quilt. I was hoping to use up some 3.5" squares, but didn't put a dent in them...BUT, I now have a "spare" quilt! Hope to start racking them up. I find it to be "o.k.", even tho I love scrap quilts.

This one is another horse quilt with the pattern Roy Rogers, from Quilting World. I did a brown one here.

Yes, I know there is a mistake, and I don't care. This one is for me. I am not thrilled with the layout for this either. I tried to find some navy for the checkered border and binding, but couldn't find the right color, so just used what I had, and that is a good thing too... I do love the colors, the binding will be purple...and it is a "maybe", if someone wants it...

I did have trouble with putting it together, which was frustrating, since the first one went together SO easy! got over the hurdle, and I think all will be o.k., but time will tell, when we do the quilting...

On to more UFOs and TONS of quilting...should be a fun week!

YES, Christmas is over!

I am so happy. Although, this year was not so bad. Not NEARLY as much stress as other years. In fact, not very many homicidal tendencies at all! Don't think I will ever get to "like" the season, but I can handle just tolerating it...

I can't believe another whole year has passed tho, and I have to make a new UFO list for Judy's challenge. My last one is here. And what did I finish? Sadly, #10-the Ancient History, and the Bonus quilt. BAD GIRL, BAD! Try, try again....I mixed it up a bit (the old list) and added a couple new ones....
So, for this year, I have on my list:

#1-Carolina Christmas-still at this stage...
#2-Circular Batiks-one where you make circles and make it look like a cathedral window...
#3-Morning Slash-no further along than last year...
#4-Homespun Charms-again, no further along then last year! ( I see a recurring theme here...)

#5-Rhubarb Twist-an Atkinson pattern that was in Fons and Porter-M/J 2006

#6-Sister's Choice- I did do some work on that this year, but far from finished.
#7-Virginia Bound-from Bonnie Hunter's book and new on the list, but not a new UFO...
#8-Green and Purple Scrappy Toes- just have to put rows together, and actually HAVE some rows together! I hate it when I am SO close!
#9-String Pinwheels-yes, this is at the same spot too...

#10-Shakespeare-again, didn't touch it...

#11-Star Sprinkles-new for this year. I cut this one, and it is new on the list. I believe it too is an Atkinson pattern...
#12-Star Struck-Bonnie Hunter-kitted last year and I have it ready to work on.
So you ask, what DID I finish last year? Not much on my actual list, but a quilt for Jenna, baby William, and 10 "tops" done, but need to be quilted...not much actually "finished"...and that is what I get to work on this week....after cleaning the house, hopefully...
Hope everyone had a good weekend...
