Obviously I'm having trouble getting back into the swing of blogging. So let's try this restart once again.
These 12 blocks have been waiting to become a quilt for 13-15 years. The problem with UFO's is there's a reason why they became one in the first place. More often than not it's because I simply don't like the quilt for a wide range of reasons. This one has many, but for the sake of staying positive I'll spare you my thoughts and tell you it made me happy to find the perfect fabrics in my older stash to finally make these blocks into a finished quilt top.
TADA! She's ready to quilt. Not too bad, huh? I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. It'll make a great couch quilt or quilt ladder display piece.
The backing fabric was also hiding in my stash, it's flannel. It used to be a small design wall. I'm not a fan of working with flannel but I'm in a use what you have mood. Luckily there was enough of the light blue inner border to make both the binding and label. February is on the label but the chances of me getting it quilted in the next few days is a big fat zero.
So in a box she goes until I get the current quilt off the frame.
See you soon!
