I made these tops in the early 80's for a king sized water bed.I never had clear floor area big enough to layer them.so they have been in bins all these yrs.now I have a long arm and maybe I should finish them.they are still folded so each pic shows 1/4 of the top

Hope you can find time to finish those tops. They are great! The fabrics and patterns remind me that quilting was a lot simpler and took less "equipment" a couple of decades ago. We have become high tech!:)

They were waiting for your long arm! Lovely, they deserve finishing.

They are a "piece in time" an should be finished. Whether or not you "use" them now is not the question. They were a part of the fabric of your life.

They waited so patiently for the long arm to arrive! They earned it!
