I'm one of these people who jump from one thing to another...as a dairy farmer raising 4 kids that's how my days went most of my life. Now that much of that life is behind me, I still jump from one thing to another. I'm working on the 143 block UFO, but fit that project in between others when I want to sit down. So I'm purging and cleaning and found a denim quilt I started in 1992. It was to be for my son's dorm room...his son goes off to college next fall..better get Dad's done before I give GS his. (BTW GS's is done and waiting for him in a golf themed pillowcase.) A Hole in the Barn Door pattern was sandwiched with a poly batting a sheet for backing...we didn't have wide backings back in the 80's and 90's. I had started to big stitch the quilt and had it about 1/3 done. 9:00 PM last night I started ripping the stitching out and removing the safety pins and said "I'll just put this on the LA." Then I'll go to bed "Well what's the tension looks like..looks good." Then I'll go to bed. I'm going to do some quick loops to see how it looks and then go to bed....the joke's on me. I went to bed a 3:00 AM after taking the 70 x 92" UFO off the LA! A large piece of red plaid flannel was with the quilt for binding...looks like 1 1/4 yard...enough for a bias binding. So now to trim the quilt and make the binding! Then I will hand off the quilt to FarmerSon and tell him to keep warm at school...hahaha.
