New UFO And An Explanation

I delcared and finished another UFO in the last 24 hours. I picked a quick, easy one b/c the previous one I was not sure would "count" as a UFO. I explained to the lady keeping track that I finished the top of the quilt (which was all I ever intended for that project), but that I wanted it to be machine quilted at some point but right now I can't afford that. I have the finishing touches ready to go whenever I decide to get it quilted but its not completely finished as of yet. I am not sure if you click on the pics of the fall leaf quilts but you will see that they are all just the tops. I might work on the backs to the table runner and the wallhanging today but we'll see.
I am waiting to hear if they will allow it or not. I am okay with whatever they decide b/c I have really wanted to work on that project for a while and I am glad I didn't put it off any more. Here's the next UFO I finished this morning...I made this quilt (wallhanging) about five years ago or maybe more. I had made a few quilts and given them to this lady I know who owns a long arm quilting machine for her to quilt them for me. She did all of them except this one b/c she said that I could do this one myself on my regular machine...I was disappointed and also in denial. I put it in a box and it has only come out a few times since. I thought about it recently and decided that I would give it a go on the regular machine and finish it as a UFO. I am not thrilled with the results but it is finished and I can hang it on my wall come spring. Yay!
