finished a 10 year old sampler quilt UFO
 
2 Attachment(s)
started this quilt over 10 years ago --- all kinds of (excuses) later i finally finished it-
i am going to give it to a favorite Aunt for mother's day- she's gonna love it!
i didn't do too good with the picture taking- it is 12 blocks not just the 9 that show up- & the pic of the back doesn't do too good at showing quilting detail---but it's done & i'm happy.

It is really pretty. My first quilt was a sampler, but not anywhere near that good.

You should be happy! Your quilt is lovely. I have some UFO's that are about that old. Trying to get them done.

This is a lovely sampler! Many times they don't seem very cohesive to me, but this one is just beautiful.

It must be gratifying to finish a 10 yr UFO. I'm in the same boat and need to pull out the next UFO to work on. Thanks for reminding me to get at it!

Lovely quilt. Great job!!!

duckydo 04-03-2012 04:53 AM

Good for you. I am also trying to get out some of my UFO's and get them finished, it is hard not to buy some of the new fabric I see.

tedytrser 04-03-2012 05:02 AM

Very Pretty!

pstrwife 04-03-2012 07:23 AM

Your quilt is beautiful. I think I can beat you in the number of years to finish a quilt. Maybe 15-20. I collect the pattern and fabric then may start it then life happens.
Funny thing about your quilt, I think I reconize some of the fabric in your quilt as some in my stash. lol.

ratz29 04-03-2012 07:50 AM

It's beautiful! Love the colors.

MrsM 04-03-2012 08:01 AM

I think you did a splendid job. She'll love it!

BarbaraSue 04-03-2012 09:40 AM

Oh this reminds me. My first was a sampler too, but I didn't like the sampler blocks with the log cabins as the pattern suggested. I still have those sampler blocks!! Oh no, actually another class I took was a christmas sampler. I still have those as blocks as well. They don't look that great togther.

Congratulations on finishing yours and it is very pretty. :)

Rumbols 04-03-2012 09:43 AM

Congrats. It is very pretty.

Your quilt is so pretty! I have a sampler quilt UFO waiting to be worked on. Along with a few other UFOs. So what did I do? I found a free quilt pattern online to use a charm pack I bought, and went out today to get some coordinating fabrics for the boarders. I am itching to make this quilt. Guess my UFOs will have to wait a little longer! :)

dltaylor 04-03-2012 10:39 AM

She will treasure it, it is really beautiful

solstice3 04-03-2012 10:53 AM

very nice. A sampler is on my to do list.

Peggy Jeanne 04-03-2012 12:34 PM

Very pretty, glad that you did not give up!

carolynjo 04-03-2012 02:24 PM

What's not to love about this pretty quilt! Your aunt will love it.
