This is a UFO I ran across early March that was started clear back in 2002 or 2003. After looking over what I had done back then, I was so amazed at how far I truly have come in quilting. :shock: I scrapped the blocks that had been made as they were not even close to what they were s'posed to be! It is the Attic Windows pattern from quilterscache, and I think they were meant to be 12 1/2" unfinished after 4 windows were put together. I started measuring and they were all anything but that! Some were as small as 9 1/2" so I reckon I lost quite a bit somehow. LoL! I measured the seams and .. wait for it... yep, that's what the problem was. My seams were atrocious, to say the least! :oops:
So, I figure "I'll just wing it and see how it comes out." I've been working on it off and on for a month now and just finished the binding a bit ago. I must say, I really like what turned out of this mess and just need a name for it so I can get her labeled and out of the UFO pile. I have no idea where it's going after that but atleast it is done, done , DONE!!

Very pretty! Glad you stuck with it :D:D:D

Looks like you did good fixing it up. Looks great.

Wow ! I really like this. Red, White and Blue? this turned out very nice !!

TY. It is red, cream/beige(?), and blue. Maybe a close-up would show it better. The border is a solid navy blue and for some reason just made the whole thing, imho. I tried it without any border and it just all ran together, looked awful. The backing is the same navy also.

It is lovely and you should be proud of your now FO. Life is journey and so is our quilting. It makes me proud to think how far I have come and I hope you do too.

Very pretty quilt.

Looks super-glad you got back to it!

Looks great, glad you went back to it.

Stunning!

PJ,

What a beautiful quilt! As for names for the quilt, how about "Finally Done!" Or maybe "Silk Purse Out of a . . . "

Well done.

Very pretty.

Yes, it did turn out nice! Good work! Doesn't it feel good to work on clearing out the UFO stack?

How about "Windows to the Stars" ? Sure turned out wonderful....and not all WM fabs are bad.

Wonderful quilt!

Super job

This is a perfect example of something beautiful happening when we don't give up. So glad you shared this with us. You did a great job of pulling this together.

Gorgeous!

I think that would look pretty good hanging over my coach:-)

Stunning! Glad you finished it.

Very pretty!!!! Great job!!

Beautiful !! :-D

Thanks so much everyone! It sure does feel good to have it done. Still trying to get the sleeve on her but GS is making that a very slow process. LoL!

Sooooo glad you decided to finish it. It's wonderful!!!

Wonderful. I love it. It's a good feeling to finish a UFO!!

Very nice and I agree that the navy just makes it special.

I would name it "Victory". As in snatching victory from the jaws of defeat. Victory also goes nicely with the material you choose. It has really turned out great!

Now that is a very fitting name!! Thanks, I will go with that one.
