Fabulous Finish-A-Long 2016 First Quarter!

Time shifts so quickly but we are already at the end of Q1 of the 2016 FAL! Now you know that the 2016 FAL has gone global this year - a community of bloggers across the world are jointly hosting the FAL. Our hosts are:

• Debbie - A Quilter's Table - USA

• Jess - Elven Garden Quilts - Australia

• Stacey - SLO Studio - Canada

• Jennie - Clover & Violet - USA

• Helen - Archie the Wonder Dog - UK

• Nicky - Mrs. Sew and Sow -UK

• Cindy - Fluffy Sheep Quilting - Ireland

• Rhonda - Rhonda's Ramblings - USA

• Leanne - She Can Quilt - Canada

I am thrilled to say I finished loads this time.  I find the approaching quarter end gets me focused and I actually get things done, instead of just thinking about it!  

And how did you do?

The 2016 Q1 link for your finishes will soon be open below on my blog and on each of the hosting blogs - you only need to link on one blog for your finish to appear on each blog. Link-up "rules"

• Add one link for each Q1 finish. If you want to link a round up post of all your finishes, use that link to enter one of your finishes and then link the rest of your finishes separately. Please, only one link per finish, as your link is an entry into the randomly drawn prize draws.
• Please use the 2016 FAL button or the hashtag #2016FAL
• Please ensure that the photo or blog post you link up contains a link or reference back to your original Q1 list so that we can verify your entry.
• Please become part of the FAL community. Please check out the links of others and comment. We all need encouragement so let's applaud each other. The 2016 FAL Facebook page is here and follow us on Instagram @finishlong and tag your photos #2106FAL.
• Our hosts will also link their finishes to share in the community, but they are not eligible for any of the prizes.

The Q1 Finishes link will stay open from now thru April 7 - link up your finishes early and if you have a last minute one, add that one later so you don't miss out. The prizes will be awarded as soon as we can verify all the entries and do the drawings. We will post the winners on each host blog. Start making your Q2 FAL lists as the Q2 list link opens on April 8.
