UFO finishes

Oh dear, am I cheating by finishing these 2 quilts that are listed as #2 on my 2011 UFO Challenge list? I guess not.
I just found out about 2 women expecting baby girls in February. They don't have much in the way of baby things so I thought it might be nice if they each have a flannel quilt. Pattern is Mary's Strippie and that just about uses up the last of the flannel I bought at Marden's in September. I'll be going again on Tuesday. I'll check to see if there is anything I just have to have.

UFO FINISH

This was a very easy finish. Just quilt and bind. I'm sending it to Alycia for the qov project. I even made a pillowcase to put it in.
Now, on to #6A. It's the BOM from Joann's, circa 2000. I've made the remaining 9 blocks only to find there was a setting/finishing kit necessary. Hey, I know I can figure it out but it almost feels like another UFO coming on. I WILL finish it.
In the meantime, I'm rewarding myself by stitching 2 1/2" strips together for a quilt I saw on the Moda website. It's called Sugar Pop N Change designed by Melissa at Happy Quilting. I'm going to sash it with black. http://www.modabakeshop.com/2010/12/sugar-pop-n-change-quilt.html

UFO #6 - 2011 Challenge

Here is the patriotic rail fence that I'll be finishing this month. The top and back are all done. All I need to do is cut the batting, quilt and bind. (And I will be binding by machine.)
My #6A ufo is the set of blocks from JoAnn's. I've made a few but less than half of them. This one will take much longer.

Jacques Cousteau Hat

I found this pattern on Ravelry. This is made with a dk hand-dyed wool. I think I'll make more of these. In fact I have another one started in a multi-colored yarn.

Technicolor Yawn aka Scrap Vomit

Mittens finished

After probably 2 years, I have finally knit the thumbs into these wool mittens. Why do I just leave a project for something new? I made myself finish these before I allow myself to start another project. It's going to be a Jacques Cousteau hat with some green hand-dyed (not by me) dk yarn I bought in a kit at the Fiber Frolic in 2009.
