For "A Lovely Year of Finishes" - hosted by Melissa of Sew BitterSweet Designs and Shanna of Fiber of All Sorts I'm going to quilt and bind the "Hat Trick" Schnibbles quilt top I pieced in April. I finished basting it today, so I'm all ready to start the hand quilting at quilt group tonight. (I'm posting a picture again her because I think I'm supposed to for my entry.)
For "2013 - The Year of the Finished Project", I will quilt and bind a top finished prior to 2013. I've chosen "Bunny Hop".
The top was completed in 2009, and has been hanging in the closet (with the other 40+ quilt tops) waiting to be finished ever since. I'm going to hand quilt this one using "big stitch" and Cebelia thread. It would be nice to finish this so it could hang at least a week or two this spring before being put away until next year.
Both of these are quite doable, so there is no reason for me not to finish. I say that, but looking at the May list on my left sidebar is a little scary right now. I'd better get to work!

Hi Patti! Welcome to the Lovely Year of Finishes! We are so glad you are joining us! Good luck with your Hat Trick!
I hope you can make a big dent in all those quilts you have hidden away in the closet. I'll be cheering you on :0)

Sounds like joining these things is a good way of keeping on track with ones ufos! Good luck!
Sounds like a reasonable goal for May and a good way to make way for new projects later this year.
You can do it! I look forward to watching your progress! :)
