I did it! I finished five of the UFO's that I posted earlier before the end of July! I cannot believe it - I never thought I would get it done. Thank you so much, Peg, for this challenge. It was just the motivation I needed to get these done.
The back of this fall quilt is an old vest cloth pattern that I bought many years ago. I was never going to make the ugly vest, so I thought I might as well use it for a backing.
This second fall quilt also uses a cloth pattern that I will never use as a backing. It is a scarecrow wallhanging pattern that I bought at Wal-Mart (yuck.) I had two of these and so I used the other one for the backing of the Christmas quilt below.
Here is the Christmas quilt. I am not showing the back since it is the same old scarecrow.
Here are two of the placemats. I still have to tack the binding down on the backs but they will be done by July 31st.
I am so happy to have these done! I hope to at least pin baste the other quilts before the end of July. I know that once school starts I won't have time or energy to do it.

Wow I'm so impressed. They look great, too. I like the scarecrows for the backings, as it kind of makes them 2 for 1's.
Julie...I just don't know what to say...wow, you have done a fantastic job on all your finishes...three cheers to you, you should be most proud...congratulations....
Great job, Julie!! Congrats on finishing five. :-)
Good idea using fabrics that you don't like anymore for the backing.
They look great.
Wow! You have been busy! Well done!!!
WOW...You got so much done and it's all beautiful!
I am so Impressed! Maybe next summer I'll take on that challenge too. Your quilts are wonderful! Good Work!
I love your idea about backings. A great way to thin out the stash, and save some cash!
Goodness, gracious! I am certainly very impressed. Each piece is absolutely gorgeous!
Hey, that kitty snowman panel is kind of cute. Looks like your summer produced a lot of results!
