It's the end of Q3 of the Finish-A-Long, can you believe it? I have two finishes this quarter out of the six projects on my list (my original Q3 list is here):
1. Octagonal Orb quilt for Siblings Together: Done and donated. Ta Da post is here.
2. Grannie square quilt - Done and in use, this is my quilt for cuddling, reading, naps, etc. Ta Da post is here.
So two out of six is not bad, and I am going to have to put some thought into my Q4 list so that I can finish the year on a high note.
Now it is time for you to link up your Q3 finishes. Remember that each finish is an entry into the randomly chosen draws for the prizes from our wonderful Q3 sponsors.
Here are some answers to your questions (the rules are also here):
Is there a penalty for not finishing something on my list?
Do things I finish in the first week of October count?
What is the schedule?
The Q3 post quarter link is open until midnight MST October 7 - don't be late. You must link your finishes by then for them to count in the draw for the wonderful prizes from our generous and wonderful sponsors - each separately linked finish is one entry in the random draws. If you are trying to squeeze one last finish in you can link the rest of your finishes now and that last one at the 11th hour - just saying.
I can't wait to see how many beautiful projects you have finished and gotten out of your sewing rooms this quarter. Oh, and you can start getting together your Q4 lists. Don't forget, we have great tutorials coming this week, in between the link ups - it is going to be a fun.
If you have any questions, or get stuck linking up, let me know and I will help you out. You can leave a comment or email me at shecanquilt [at] gmail [dot] com.

How do I link up my finishes? Do I need one link for each finish?
- Please link one blog post or flickr picture for each finished item that you had listed on your Q3 FAL list which you linked up in July. You can link older blog posts or do new ones, as you like. In one or all of the posts or pictures you link up, please include a link to the Q3 list you linked up in July so I can check your entries.
- Feel free to do a post about how you did this quarter and link it for one of your finishes and then link up the rest of your finishes separately. Don't add an extra link just for the wrap up post please.
- Please visit some or all of the other links and leave comments, everyone likes comments.

Can’t believe a quarter has gone by again Leanne! Love both your finished quilts! And thanks for organizing all that’s involved. I’m sure it’s a lot of work!
Such beautiful finishes though Leanne. I didn't finish anything but perhaps next quarter?
I'm happy to have three finishes for this quarter. Not sure where to share my original list so I'll do it here:

Thanks for hosting Leanne! Off to write my 4th quarter list....
Both of your finishes are so gorgeous! Great job. I have linked mine up and my original list is on my blog - Q3 UFO Progress Tab! I so look forward to the day when my lists get shorter!!
I finished up 4 out of 5. I'm happy with that accomplishment. Thinking about Q4 now.
Well done, I shall do a round up and get my link on tomorrow :o)
Bugger!
I have a 50% finish rate - literally 1 out of 2! Will link up this week xxx
Fantastic finishes Leanne! By friday I'm hoping to have finished 3 of my 4 goals. This link up is fabulous for motivating some finishes!
Lovely finishes. I managed 6 out of 9 with big progress on one more so am feeling pretty accomplished. Now I just need to take pictures of the final quilt and blog about it. Thanks for including me in the tutorials.
Wow! Lots of great finishes this quarter. I love your Octagonal Orb quilt.
Love all these finishes!! I only managed to finish one this quarter. BOO! But at least I got one right? ;)
How has this year gone so fast?! Both your finishes are really lovely quilts - and I seem to remember quite a few other projects that were started and finished during the last quarter as well... I'm pretty pleased with my 6/8 - it's better than I thought I'd do!
Your finishes are super. My apologies for not joining in too much this quarter.
Woohoo! I have some finished this time around. Thanks for all the work you put into this.
Two beautiful finishes, Leanne!
Thanks so much for all you do with FAL - I've thoroughly enjoyed my first year trying this. It has helped keep me on track and I love seeing what others have been making too. Here's to lots of finishes this final quarter (can't believe how fast the year is passing).
These are beautiful Leanne! Ive only managed a 50% success rate this month! Just added my link :)
Leanne ........beautiful finishes. Thank you so much for all your hard work in hosting this wonderful Finish A Long. It is great fun and a wonderful motivation to get projects completed. I realize this must be a huge amount of work for you and I really appreciate it. Have a fabulous week Marie x
Thanks, Leanne, for hosting this helpful finish along! It really is motivating to me.
Your two finishes are both so wonderful, Leanne! Thank you so much for hosting this, I need that motivation!
Wow, you finished two gorgeous quilts and also kept us all going with the FAL! Kudos to you! The Octagonal Orb is amazing, what lucky recipients! Glad you have the Granny Square to cuddle under.
239 links, quite impressive! Thanks very much Leanne, looking forward to Q4 :)
