10 years a UFO - it is now completed & almost ready to go to it's new home. Started out as mystery blocks from my Arizona guild. Once I got to the reveal, I knew it would go to my nephew. Way back then, thought it would make a good HS graduation gift. Found a backing fabric I liked, worked the original borders (very odd size finish, but good for a dorm bed - extra long!). After much practicing on my Tin Lizzie on charity quilts w/pantographs this is the first of my own quilts I finally quilted on the Tin Lizzie in 2011. My husband died in May 2011 & it has sat collecting dust since. Showed it t my nephew & his partner when they were here for Thanksgiving to see if they even liked it & would want it. They did. Put it back on the Tin Lizzie in February to quilt the added borders to make it fit on a queen sized bed, then we vacationed in Italy most of March & returned my Mom home to Iowa in April. Now getting back to normal. I do need to get a box of color catchers & wash out the cat & dog hair & the dust it has collected over time... But am happy with the results.
