Eleven years in the making - ELEVEN! In 1999 I made a quilt for a friend of my daughter when she got married and I loved the fabric I used - wanted more but could never find it and all I had left were some 6-inch blocks and a few strips - just enough for a baby quilt. I set those blocks aside and about five years later I found them, buried deep in my stash and decided it was time to sew them up. I paired them with the red fabric and the top came together in about an hour - it is rather small!
But something happened after the top was pieced and it ended up back in the UFO pile (Un-Finished Objects) for another five years. Last year, I rescued it yet again and got a back pinned to it faster than you can say FREE QUILT (anything that sits for more than six months in your stash is free.) Then...back into the pile it went!! Now, eleven years later, it is quilted, "birthed" (washed and gently pulled from the dryer all warm and soft), and ready to wrap a baby in...except I don't have a baby...I only have Caesar...lover of quilts, keeper of golf balls:
Caesar Beezer knows a good thing when he sees it. I'll probably never get the quilt back from him, he's vicious when it comes to "Indian Giving"...
