I didn't do any more quilting until we adopted our daughters. They each received a pre-quilted blankie made my mom. That was that until just before I retired when my sister helped me make a small wall hanging. After retirement it was all ahead full! No to make up for lost time!
Here's my yo-yos.
Now that is a true labour of love, how wonderful that you finished it and still use it :D :D :D
