This UFO came back from the long arm quilter this weekend so I added the binding during the VQW and I can check it off my UFO list. It is #14 on my list of 12.
It finished at 76 X 78 and I am all kinds of happy to have it finished. It will likely be gifted to someone, some day. This was from Lori Holt's "Scrappiness is Happiness" book but I eliminated most of the novelty blocks and replaced them with traditional blocks. My quilting group did this as a sew along and I got bogged down and finished it late. Not crazy about the finish but I can call it done and I learned much along the way: the trials of re-working a pattern, following what feels good to you and the importance of keeping up with a group sew-a-long. Diminishing bin of blue scraps is a bonus. Would I take this one on again, not likely, although I like individual blocks tremendously.
