Quilter in the Gap Finish-A-Long

I've decided I need to join Rhonda's FAL in order to get some of these UFO's completed.  So for the first quarter of the year I'd like to get my king sized sampler quilt to the long arm quilter and get it bound. I've been seriously quilting since 2007, but we still don't have a quilt on our bed.  Time to change that. 

I'm not going to unfold this because it is so big and heavy, and I don't want to stretch out the borders.  I have the batting and the batting.  Just need to make the time to get it to the longarmer. 


The second project in the FAL will be Moria Blackburn's Time and Season Sampler.  I started it in 2010 and stitched it as a round robin with a group of on-line friends.  You can see their initials in the bottom row.  This sampler has been to Germany, Canada and around the US.  All I need to do is the backstitching in the grapevine and a little cross stitching in the bottom floral. For some reason, I can't make myself work on it.  Maybe this FAL is the motivation I need.





I'm doing Bonnie Hunter's Orca Bay quilt, and I need to finish the piecing before it turns into a UFO.  I have to finish this before I lose interest in it.



Three UFO's will be enough to start, though I certainly have many more than three.
