UFO Finish

Last night, I finished another baby quilt. This one will go to Project Linus. I'm sure that it was started before I actually began quilting because it is tied instead of machine quilted and the binding that was attached was an extra wide double fold bias tape. I found this quilt when I was cleaning out the stash room and I moved it to my workstation to try and get it finished so that I could donate it. Finally. :)

Sunday, I ripped off the bias tape binding and Monday I worked on real binding for the quilt. Once I got back from the knitting class, I attached the binding and machine stitched it down. And TA DA!!! It's finished!

I'm glad to be able to use my talents to help those in need. When I was in the sorority, I did a lot of volunteer work, but since I dropped out, I haven't done as much. This year, I plan on changing that by meeting my goal of 12 quilts and by helping with different events in Cincinnati. It's a great feeling to be able to help others!
