It has not been a year of finishes for me but I have 3 months to add a few I think. Wish me luck! I went back to my spring list so I had a few more things to select from. We will see how the next 3 months goes. I need to change the mindset on what quilts need 'hand quilting' to finish.... although, there is no rush so I guess it is ok?
I did get one finish last quarter, the Arkansas Traveller quilt.
The list of UFO's -
1.) I know I have at least one more cut somewhere to fill that open spot for a 7x6 setting. *** found the parts in a baggie! These are hand pieced.... and might need a little fixing along the way on some of those middle joins. From Inklingo lemoyne stars. The blocks are 4.5 inches.
2.) I think it's a 6.5 inch cut center of greys and 2.5 inch strips. Finishes 10 inches.
3.) Midget Applique quilt from Sentimental Stitches. I need to add more flowers and leaves and the vines... and the last border. Hand pieced and hand appliqued. Started January 2015 as a car line project. One block a week.
4.) triangle pyramids. started June 2024. I need to find these!
5.) little packs of 2.5 inch squares turned into this little top while I was stitching something together.
6.) Midget block collection - I started these in Vermont in 2010! I have a light blue for sashing.
7.) Baby quilt with a Dr. Seuss Panel of ABC. This will get started today =) Especially if the baby shower is Sunday =). They will get cut out and framed and then sewn back together somehow!
8.) Erin's Butterfly - I made the wings in 2021. Need to add one more set of wings... thinking 9 is a nice number? These have been machine stitched onto the background. Need to add body and antenna to each. Also need to add 1 block in another color.
9.) Flying Snowballs - hand pieced shoo fly and flowering snowball blocks in blue, purple and green from 2025. Will plan to machine piece them together into a top about 84x84.
10.) mostly cut out and some 9 patches are made. Hehe... from the first quilting book I had and made a quilt from. Introduction to Quilting 101 - the basics by Sharon Hultgren. I think this was Sunrise Surprise! The four patch from this book is at my Mom's hanging over a crib still! This might get morphed into a donation quilt of some sort to get it done.
11.) I forgot I had this. It is a cute birdhouse wall hanging but is foundation pieced, which I dislike. Maybe I can deal with it enough to get this done? Or rework it?
12,) This is a kit I purchased mid-90s - butterfly's. I think all the parts are there and I did start arranging them.

13.) Quilters Patch. A sew along that I completely did not meet my goals on in 2022. One block is done.
14.) Alternate BITA blocks from RSC 2025 collection
15.) 16 patch blocks from 2.5 inch squares
16.) chicken blocks... these have not had much love this year.
17.) Bittersweet Briar - pattern in Kim Deihl's book and kit of fabric.
18) Brimfield Awakening EPP. I did start this and have the first fabric thread basted in purple!
19.) Bonnie Hunter Mystery - On Ringo Lake - maybe step #2?
20) Bonnie Hunter Mystery - Grassy Creek (2020) Think I am on step #4.
Quilt Tops:
22.) Birds in the Air block collection - this is now a top and loaded onto the quilting frame at a 90x90 size.
23) Ella Maria Deacon Blocks. Hand pieced, machine stitched together into a top. Patterns from Sentimental Stitches.
I need to measure and see if it is happy with it's size or now. All my quilts seem to have a mind of their own!
24) Vermont Quilt Festival Booth Hop from either 2008 or 2009. it is 71x71.
25.) Y2K Joann's BOM - quilt top
26.) 1857 Quilt Along Top - This one is in the hoop for hand quilting as of December 2024. ** Might unpin this one so it doesn't rust and do something smaller first with the big BITA on the frame...
27.) Spring Hexagons - not sure if this wants to be bigger or not....
28.) Triple Irish Chain - green. 80x80 I think. I did find both fabrics extra with it... Might need a green or cream border first or both... Made in the early 2000's. circular feathers in open spaces.
29.) Harmony - hand pieced project started March 2021-
2/5/24 it is a top!
30.) Hexagon flowers on a black background. These are a stack of blocks I hand pieced a few years ago then hand appliqued to the black background a couple years after that!
31.) String of Beads is a top. I do want to add green circles to the meeting points of the green peels I think as well. The yellow ones really helped the colored parts of the peel flowers. I need a new photo of this one as I did get it to a top on 10/5/25. I promise!
I bet you can get the tops done of at least a couple of these - some look very close to being done. I would pick out one nearly done and get it done then another and so on
