Yes, I have had these blocks and/or the appliques to finish blocks for that long. I actually like how it turned out and it ended up being a California King so I can send to my daughter in Denver. Good thing I don't get attached to these blocks. LOL I even got to piece the back. Not sure that was an honor, but it did bust the stash a bit so I can hit some good Christmas fabric sales. The backing was from one of those Black Friday sales years ago that I got a great price on. Hubby asked why I pieced it, I asked him if he really wanted me to buy more fabric. Yep, he got quiet. I used varigated red/green Magnifico thread on top and So Fine red on the bottom with a Baptist Fan missing the buttons that were already sewn on and the crystals. When swapping blocks, do not put embellishments on them. Find your block.
Have a Wonderful Christmas everyone.
