QQQ's UFO COMPETITION 2017 - WE HAVE A WINNER!

Each year, the QQQ team has a UFO competition. In quilting language, UFO means Un-Finished-Object. Many of us quilters always have UFO's that are not finished for several reasons. 
The beginning of the year is always the best time to take action and actually finish some of  - or at least one - of the accumulated UFO's. Yes, they do multiply!!! Every quilter knows! 

The UFO competition started February 1st and ended July 31st. Team members who participated has been busy working on their UFO's. Some have finished their UFO's - or some UFO's - and some didn't manage to finish any. Life comes in the way, as it is said. 
For this year's competition, there were 11 entrants / 45 entries, some with several UFO's they wanted to finish before deadline. 
The 'fee' for participating in the UFO competition, is 1 (one) FQ (fat quarter) for each entry.

Now the competition has come to an end and we have 19 FINISHED UFO's! Click here to see them all.  

The voting is done and we have two winners! 

DRUMROLL PLEASE!!! 

Voter's choice goes to #10, Patti from Sleeping Cat Creations with her gorgeous En Provence quilt


.... and this is how it looked like when Patti listed her entry


The winner of the random draw is #18 - Phyllis from Jambearies with her beautiful patriotic table runner

CONGRATULATIONS to both winners! WELL DESERVED!
Fat Quarters will soon find their way to your mail boxes!
