they were the right colors for a 7-yr old. i don't think i would choose those colors for a grown man. but he's seen them for so long now they seem right to him. he says he can't imagine it any other colors.

Wow good for you on finishing. It looks great and if you don't mind I'm lmao. I think i would have thrown it out years ago.

Great job! I admire you, I can't remember how I wanted to do something a year ago, much less 33 years ago!

you are just too cute :) it looks great!

to tell the truth, the longer i took to finish it, the more i couldn't stand the thought of looking at it. if my daughter hadn't gotten on my case, it would still be folded up somewhere. of course, she's waiting for her own 33-yr-old-quilt now. it just needs pics, then it goes to her house.

Worth the wait! Gives me hope--if you can finish a quilt after all this time, maybe I can finish some of my UFOs too! I'm sure he loves his quilt!
