Yeah, next fall. :roll:
Meant to have this wall hanging done to decorate the house this fall. It's just the top. I seem to do that, finish the top and then stop. I guess maybe it's because of my lack of quilting experience. I make a nice looking top and then don't want to mess it up or something.

I know the feeling. I have several top UFO's that I don't want to mess up with the wrong quilting so they are waiting for....???? I will get to them eventually! It looks lovely and you will finish it for next year, right?

Beetle, I was the same way for a LONG time. That is how I ended up with so many UFO's. One day I said to myself, "Self" you have got to finish some of these. I picked one out and just started hand stitching. The stitches were not small then, but they have gotten smaller over the last 3 years. Your wall hanging is much to pretty to stop there. I would make it much bigger. It is gorgeous.

That is really pretty. I so relate. I think I am also afraid to finish them up because i'm not happy with my quilting abilities and I don't want to pay to have it done.
This will be really nice for next Fall.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.
@ Brazen, they are just appliqued with the fusible webbing. I haven't actually stitched them. I figured for a wall hanging I could get away with that. I really need to practice a blanket stitch and satin stitch. I took a quilting motif out of a magazine and traced it to make it the leaves. I'd make it bigger but ran out of the fabrics and I think it would look funny to add on with different fabric. As it is, it's pretty large/long.
