I'm FINALLY finished with this quilt top. I got the pattern from a magazine a Loooong time ago. I mistakenly started it 11 years or more ago. I shouldn't have picked this one to do as a newer quilter back then. I became frustrated with it and shoved it in a closet. So, I gave myself this ultimatum this week. "You either finish it or throw it out." It's not perfect as there were some major curves (lots of them) that I didn't get them perfect 11 years ago. And I wasn't going to start over and rip it out. Also there were 3 more girls in the pattern, but I cut it short. I hope I have some dark batting in my stash or it's going to have to wait even longer to quilt. :> I have some new sashiko embroidery I might put on the corners. I don't know...I do know I'm going to have to do some FM stippling around the girls as some of the bias edges got a tad pulled. It will be a smallish lap quilt. Luckily we have small laps in this house. I'm so glad it's done. I don't recommend it and I WON'T do it again.

It's gorgeous. The fabrics used for the kimonos are perfect. Maybe use it as a wall hanging?

No, honestly I'm so fed up with it, I don't want it staring back at me on a daily basis from a wall. I'm piecing the back with the dark gray and black fabric. It will be used on the couch and I may even keep it with the back showing most of the time.
