Completing UFOs

This year I have been working - as usual - on completing some UFOs. This always happens comes January and this year was no exception except that I am actually finishing some this time. My goal is to finish one quilt per month.
I made a long list that I won't share for fear of embarrassing myself but here are my January and February finishes.
 This is Color Works, the pattern being from Kathy Doughty's book, Mixing Quilt Elements. I had so much fun making this quilt and choosing fabrics, all which were in my stash. Some are Asian prints that have been aging for quite some time; some Kathy's own fabrics and stripes by Kaffe Fassett.
 My pictures could be better but I think that is what keeps me from blogging sometimes - waiting for great photos and finding a large place to take the pictures.
 Next came the quilt you may recognize - Bonnie Hunter's Mystery Quilt from Nov 2017,  On Ringo Lake. My sister and some of my friends were going to make it so I proceeded ahead, of course not knowing how many thousands of pieces there would be! I must say it is good therapy and even though I'm glad it is FINISHED, it was fun in the process.
 Just hanging on the longarm here.
And a closeup picture. 

I still have more to share but goodbye for now and
Happy Easter!
