Finish-A -Long, Phase 2

Phase 2 of the Finish-A-Long includes one of my oldest UFOs, a cross stitch project that I started about 8 years ago ( Long Dog's Mouline Rouge).  I know it was 8 years ago because I wrote the date I started it on the chart. My plan was to stitch one page of the nine page chart each month until it was complete.  I did well for about 3 months.  Then it sat for a while until I decided I could never complete it on my own.  I sent it off to some of my stitching buddies (Ming & Juli in Canada, Gaby, Dane & Ilsa in Germany, Angela in England ).  They did most of the rest of the stitching, and when it came back to me I had only about one and a half  pages left to stitch.

You would think I could complete the rest of it in less than  5 years, but it has been sitting in my stitching cabinet since it got home.  I keep moving it around, and  every time I reorganize my stitching stuff, I look in the bag and feel guilty.  Time to get it out again and finish it!

The next UFO to complete will be my zipper quilt.  This is a scrap quilt I started last summer after seeing something similar on someone else's blog. Sorry I don't know who inspired me.  I like the way this one looks from far away.  Close up, the zipper pattern is lost.

Then there is my pineapple passion quilt.  I have completed the center and just need to get the borders on.  I really need to finish it, though before I start on the zipper quilt, or I'm afraid I won't get back to it. 

There is a slight chance I could finish another quilt, so I pulled out my second spider web quilt.  I think I have about 1/2 of the blocks done.  I like making the blocks.  I dislike putting the blocks together, so we'll see how far I get.

The final quilt I need to finish is a quilt I'm making for my sister.  I had it long arm quilted in July of last year.  I got the binding sewed on the front, but I still need to hand stitch the binding on the back of the quilt. 

Considering how little I've been quilting lately, this is a lot  for me to get done in 3 months.  Here's the link to see what other quilters hope to accomplish. http://gapquilter.blogspot.com/2012/04/pre-second-quarter-linky-party.html
