Yea!! I can finally lay claim to one UFO done!!! I made this along with other members of my guild. We started in 2011 and finished in 2012 with just the top. I made the backing for mine using some orphan blocks I received from a friend who didn't want them so I incorporated them into the backing. Got it back from the LA quilter a couple months ago. However, she did not echo stitch to the edges of the block that I wanted echo stitched. So, I had to try and do that myself but first I had to order some matching (sort of) thread as I had none in gold color. It is 75 x 90 so was hard to wrestle it with my DSM. Now that it is done, it really doesn't look too bad and much better with stitching going clear to the edges, don't you agree. It was a Fons & Porter pattern but I can't remember the name so I just called mine "Stars and Stripes". Trying to keep everyone happy, I am adding pictures of blocks before and after, back and front.
