Heading to the Finish Line

The end of the year is in sight and I am motivated to finish my UFO list!!  I got the last 2 flimsies sandwiched and pin-basted together.  

I started on Mr. D's quilt and despite still being affected by the time change, I made good progress.  

Quilting is underway.

I initially quilted a large X across each 6" block with the walking foot and that was alright.  But then I thought about how old the quilt was and how my skills and fabric were not great back then.  So I am now going back and stitching more closely in the small 4-patches that make up the blocks.  Tedious, but it gives me peace of mind that the quilt will hold together better in the long run. 

Additional quilting across the smaller patches.

I am hoping to have this one done by next weekend.  The plan is still to work on Dear Jane's binding over Thanksgiving even if I don't have these last two UFOs finished yet.

15 minute days last weeks = 5/7

Forward progress, but nothing to report out yet.

    You've made good progress on projects this year. Your stitching time numbers look good, hopeful that's helped with the UFO list.

    I have one top that needs a border and one done, both need to be finished and both were put together at a retreat over 2 years ago.

    I would love to have only 2 UFOs! Plan to focus on some of them next year.
