    Thank you Leah for your encouraging comments. I think writing about it on the blog already helps. The other day I had a comment from Joni who quoted an ad saying 'just do it'. Ha,ha…that did it for me. Thought, yep, stop the negativity and just do it. Started literally straight away with a design that I like…the UFO Sundays are truly a great motivator. I reckon my project would have easily ended up being an UFO again without it.

    I just finished a Baltimore Album quilt that took over two years to complete and hand quilted. When I finished sewing the binding on I felt elated and looked at the quilt and said "oh, now that is a beauty". Thanks for inspiring us to complete those UFQ's.

    Thank you,Leah for answering out questions.
    you always seem to know what to say.

    Thanks again!

  4. Glad I could give you a giggle 🙂 I am a firm believer in the old adage, laughter is the best medicine!
    Thanks for continuing to encourage all of us, and I hope we encourage you as well. (Quilting symbiosis?)

    I am new to quilting (1 year) and have already amassed too many UFO's! It truly is the excitement of the possibilities – like a kid in a candy store, I want it all! But I've been focused on the BOM I started last October. I had gotten behind, and was tempted to throw my unfinished blocks into a bin, and start something new. But i decided to focus on this one project until it's finished. UFO Sunday and all the posts have helped know this was the right decision. I've finished my blocks and am getting ready to plunge off the giant scary quilting cliff of batting, backing and quilting. Wish me luck!

  6. Thank you so much for sharing! I had courage to try a new stitch on a baby quilt, but lost that courage in the middle of the corner section. I am working on ripping out the stitches and then I am going to try again after I have practiced some more on some sample squares!

    Sand I very you feel so good about doing it all. Good luck!

    My sister raves about Writers Way and with a huge quilting block of my own that I'm battling with am going to give the writing idea a go while I pebble away – not writing while pebbling as I'm not that good yet!
