DONE!!

My little UFO Challenge Quilt from  2014 is done!  It's always a nice feeling to stitch on that binding... but that feeling is even sweeter when the quilt top has been sitting around for awhile!

 I BIG stitched quilted around each round of logs and then stitched around each leaf and flower...twice!


Here's the top right corner...You can the wee red flange border acting as a little pop of colour before the black star border was added.


Bottom left corner....


Now I'm off to the next UFO!  This is the year to get'er done!


How about YOU?  Have you finished off any UFOs lately...?  And please don't tell me that you don't have any!  My fingers are in my ears..."Lalalala..."  Nope.  Don't want to hear it...

Have a terrific Tuesday and Happy Stitching!~P

    Such a sweet finish, Paulette. The big stitch quilting is the perfect finishing touch. If it turns up missing I don't know anything about it!
    UFOs is what this year is all about for me. They are lined up and waiting as far as the eye can see!! : )

    This is a real cutie. Log cabin and appliqué, what more could you ask for.

    Wonderful job on the quilting. A really cute quilt. I got 4 UFO's done---but cheated-----I donated them to a group who makes charity quilts. After so many years I just lost interest in the projects. :-( Some one else can now enjoy them.

    Working my way through my UFO collection. Several are so close to done that I wonder why I put them away. Oh well, they will get done before Christmas.

    Love your quilt Paulette...what a great finish! I need more than 9 lives to do all I want to do, or a solid pair of blinders to keep me from starting new projects. The patterns out there right now are absolutely wonderful and I am always so tempted . I tell myself "NO" and then I cave. I have to teach my DIL to quilt!

    Congratulations on the finish of a very sweet quilt. I think I mentioned before that I love the red and green combined for the darker logs and those flowers -- let me bring them home and hang them where I can see them all the time!

    I've been inspired by all your finished UFOs, so I'm trying to finish up one today at my quilting group. It's been around for a while (9 years) and I've looked at it often, but today's the day. Wish me luck.

    Love it Paulette! Did you freehand the quilting lines on the top and bottom border? Yes, I have a few ufo's lurking. Looking forward to your seeing your next ufo.

    Beautiful! The applique is a wonderful counterpoint to the geometric logs. And the colors are scrumptious. That one is worth waiting for.

    I got distracted and I'm not sure whether I hit the publish button. In case the comment does show up, I will just say that I love your quilt. mm-hmm

    Hi there...sorry I don't get here as often as I would like. I find that I follow too many blogs now, and can't give the attention I should.
    Your UFO is lovely, Paulette. I do have a few...too busy with quilting for others to get to them...lol. But that's
    a good thing too

    Love the colors in your quilt. I don't remember this one. The applique on the border really makes the quilt special.
