Believe it or not (I still don't!), I finished a UFO yesterday, and another one will be finished today as soon as I get the label stitched to the back. No photos of those two quilts yet, but I do have this:

| Finally, after many years, Ryokan is complete and can be checked off my 2016 Finish-A-Long list! I thought that I had taken photos when I finished Ryokan two weeks ago (wrong!) so please excuse the fold lines and the hastily taken pictures. |

I was pretty apprehensive about quilting the six inch "Cherrywood porch quilts", but they turned out to be pretty fun.
When I took the top to a long arm group meeting last year, everyone agreed that I had to should quilt each Cherrywood quilt with an individual design as if they were real quilts. So that's what I did. |
 |
They also told me that I should change thread colors throughout the blocks--I did not do that! I think they were kidding?!?
All of the Cherrywood blocks are quilted with Signature Mother Goose--a nice tan that kind of blends in on all the colors. |

| The border is just piano key quilted--keepin' it simple! |
 |
| I'm behind four days on the 365 Challenge blocks but my Temecula Circa 2016 block are finished--only because they use the left over HST's from the previous week! |
