Not long ago, I posted the flimsy (http://www.quiltingboard.com/picture...p-t275616.html).
Over that evening and into the next morning, I machine quilted it and bound it. But wanted to pull out Kid Two's quilt so I could take pictures of both of them.
Well, I was amazed at the differences in the fabric... The use and love, washing and fading, on her quilt... versus the fabrics that have been sitting the pile for how long....
But it is soooo soft. She doesn't use it all the time now, since she has made one for herself. But it does still get layered on her bed for extra warmth (no heat in the bedrooms).
This little quilt now sits in the donation pile.
I encourage everyone to finish some UFOs, it's a good feeling to have them out of the pile and off to some purpose.
Happy Quilting, Everyone.

Very pretty quilt, love all the soft colors. Also, Congratulations on finishing another UFO. You go girl. You are an inspiration. I'm trying to finish up some UFO's plus some baby quilts on a deadline, so what have I been doing these past two days? I'm assembling fabrics for zippered pouches and using scraps to make reversible headbands; if nothing else I will have something to bring to the Strawberry Festival at my church in June. Actually, I was waiting for my new iron to arrive as I had killed my old one, so I could not iron anything; now this weekend it's going to be an ironing marathon, and I'll see how far I get.
