Finally, after several years or sporadic attempts, the quilt is finished.
This morning I sewed the last stitch in the binding and then found a label and sewed it to the back of the quilt.
Now on to one of the many other UFO's that are waiting for me to get to them.
To the uninitiated a UFO is an UnFinished Object. Most of us have several waiting in queue to be finished.
I personally have, a baby quilt that is half quilted (my next project to finish), a table runner waiting to be quilted, six quilt fronts waiting to be sandwiched, pinned and quilted...four by hand, three by machine. Then there are the partially sewn quilt fronts and quilt patches......
Maybe I should get back to work and finish some of these projects.
I will try to post my progress as I reclaim my sewing room.

that's it! i'm gonna need to move closer to yer location 'n visit oft to pick yer brain :D i love the colors 'n design'f this quilt. i've yet to attempt those lil triangle thingies'n the edge...'its peaked my interest e'en more though seein' what'cha did here.
i don't allow myself ufo's 'n won't start nothin' 'til i'm done with what i'm workin'. i'm thinkin' the hubs's the cause'f such? he's more ufo's than i care to mention...i jest hope he manages to get the front'f the house put back 'fore the first'f next year. sigh...

The prairie points are so easy to do. Once I found instructions and tried it (many, many years ago) at least half my finished quilts have prairie points.

Throwing away scraps is too painful for me....back to sewing.

@Morleyhunt I have to face the fact they have sat there for years. Anyway, too late there isn't enough time left before hubby returns. I need to make it look like I moved from this laptop at some point!

Thank you. I enjoy the process. There is no step I would actually skip if given the opportunity.

One down, several more to go. Isn't that usually how things go?

As long as I start less than I finish it should be okay.

Now I've brought this to your attention again, do you still have any of these items to finish?

I've finished a lot of UFOs. Unfortunately I've also started a few new projects that aren't complete yet. Right now I'm tackling some Christmas gifts for the grandkids.

@JudyEv I have finished quite a few projects that have been languishing in a box somewhere. Most are at least now in queue to be worked on.

@Morleyhunt Haha - got sidetracked again! I think it's fine to have UFOs as long as you get to them eventually.
