That is the basket I found full of unfinished stuff when I was tidying up in my sewing room, inside were all these things, they are in no particular order, just as I pulled them out and Rebecca helped me too, along with her new doll.

WOW! Such varied goodies. My favorite is the kimono block.
My favorite is the Tea Cup quilt. I love that. You should finish it first. The pinwheels is nice too. You have some nice UFO's there Mrs. Jan. Hubs is looking good in the background too.
All I can say is WOW....I like several of your items. The blue and yellow block made me remember that I bought blue and yellow fabric and want to make a blue and yellow quilt at some point......you know...."someday". LOL
Wow what a collection! Very nice blocks! You will have to share pictures of what you do with them.
Uh. one question That peacock block is a disaster how? I LOVE it. Very cool. Actually all your disasters are us Crazy Quilters dream blocks;)

Some lovely UFOs there. Good luck with finishing them. Will you manage to overtake Tessa?!!!! Ros
And you'll finish them all by Saturday = right?
;)
LOL, if they were mine they'd probably just stay in the basket....
My goodness Jan ther's a lot there but knowing you, you'll finish the lot!!!!! How long ago are those Friendship Baskets?? At least 10 years, if not more.
OOooh... I feel MUCH better about my pile now! ( You didn't think i put them ALL on the list, now, did you!)
Fiona. :)
Wow, what a super treasure you have found, they are lovely.

Looks like you have a lot of work to do or some donating to the group stuff....lol!
The Tea Cup quilt is lovely...I like the #15 odd block, the rose and #21 lap quilt....very pretty pieces!
Rebs hair is so long and I like how you fixed it...she is quite the young lady! Hubby looks good int he kitchen....how sweet of him to do dinner....and what would you have done without barbies help...lol!
Thanks for sharing....I hate to find all my ufos...:)
Wow Jan, Lots of good projects in there, I'll be keeping my eye out for how you finish up the Almost Amish, and the Split 9 patch as well as the tea cup one. I am also curious to see how some of those projects will turn into bags. Particularly the purple flowery striped one. And what is a door name quilt? I haven't heard that phrase before. I am excited to watch your blog space in the coming weeks.
Hiya Di,
Yep we sorted the years out this morning for some of these...OH DEAR!!!!!!!
Fiona,
I hate to say it but these are just what I found in a basket, there are inumerable others...I will get to them eventually.....
Hi Joan,
Bless you.....
Noel,
I don't donate my quilts to the group I am afraid, I try to finish them and find good homes for them, not mind you that the homes of the people at my group aren't good..hahaha, but I want THEM to make THEIR OWN quilts.....heehee
Hi Leah,
Keep watching they WILL get done, one way or another.......
Thank you everyone for your comments on this little lot, I have answered most of you by email where I could.
Keep nagging me to get them done please. I need that basket empty.
Jan xxxxx
Wow, you work really hard. i love no.10 followed by the Kimono. And your white cats are exsquisite!
Oh My Jan...
You will have enough to keep you busy for awhile.... Every piece was lovely and just imagine.. One piece finished... Words so true!!!!
xoxo
((((hugs))))
