It looks snuggly and someone will love it. I just pulled out one and finished it that had been in a closet for 30+ years. Life, job, kids, etc got in the way. I just finished it a couple weeks ago; dingy and stained by Retro to the rescue. It was my very first official quilt before I knew anything about quilting; fabric; thread, patterns, batting, etc. But I'd make another one. Was I think a flower bouquet and my grandmother helped with the hand quilting - yes it is all hand quilted. Wish I knew how to post a picture from my phone but I don't. So good job for finishing it up.

when I saw this thread I read UFO quilt and the previous poster was rosiewell. My mind deleted two vowels and I was expecting to see a Roswell UFO..Kind of a different story. Hope I didn't offend you rosiewell.

That is great that you brought it out from hiding. It looks very nice and glad you have learned so many new and improved techniques. I have one of those UFO's and you are ahead of me---mine is not finished yet after many, many years.

Lynnie, I look at all your beautiful creations and then this poor humble attempt and it gives me great encouragement. I now know you started where I am at and I may, in time, progress past the beginner stage. Thank you for showing us.

Sure do have one of those, mine is just from 22 years ago. It was the very first quilt I ever made a simple nine patch with alternating solid block. What I didn't know at the time I was sewing it together was that there was something wrong with the machine so the stitches were as wonky as could be and if you pulled a thread it would fall apart. I have looked at it so many times thinking that I should reinforce the seams and finish it, maybe one day!
