I loved the description and cannot imagine how relieved you are. I dug mine up and draped it over a chair from where it stares at me accusingly. Wait, I'll get to it. Soon!

Thank you for the laugh and the "shared misery" of quilts we wished we'd never started. I think this needs to be a thread. Maybe under pictures. "Unfavorite quilts that took forever and are now finally done." Maybe something a little shorter. Finally Finished Quilts from Hell. FFQH. We could start a new acronym!

Default It is Finally Finished!!! - Picture Added

Here is the picture of the QFH. It is 1/2 a football field and 1/2 a basketball court. I used a wood grain pattern fabric for the 'floor of the basketball court. All the lines for both fiield's were free hand embroidered using a Pfaff 138-6 industrial. The numbers were done on my Brother PC6500. The quilting was done on a Pfaff 1222E.
The girl I made it for was the manager for both her high school teams. I made a full football field for a charity auction last March. I have never been so happy to see a project finished. Sorry it is wrinkled. It spent the night in my car.

Well... now that you mention it. Hopefully the kids at the school won't see it that way!

I am working on a quilt like that right now. Unfortunately it is for my DH and will live in my house to constantly remind me of my 1. bad choice for a pattern. 2. bad choice of fabric for pattern. 3. times I had to rip out what I had sewn. 4. time I miscut and then go to fabric store because I ran out of the fabric and got caught in the rainstorm of the century. 5. ineptitude as a hand quilter.
What was I thinking?
Anyways, I have slogged through this and I am a better person. Not a smarter person, but better. LOL
PS: My dh is so so about the pattern @#$%+&!

Know what you mean and glad you got it done. I had one that almost made me quit quilting. It went wrong from the first block to the last and even the sashing had to have plan B but the binding went on ok. Mine is still in the closet not sure what I will do with it. It is nice that yours will have a home.
