Wow, bright and festive, yes! For all the time you've invested into it I'd have to say it turned out great!

It's so bright and happy - glad you were able to finish it - -I have a few waiting for that "finishing moment" also :)

Great! Lovely and bright! It is beautiful.

Great job. Sometimes we need to let things alone because after a while we can figure them out. It just took a while to set this pattern in your mind.

They resurfaced a couple of years later, and thankfully my skills were better, so I fixed all the bad blocks.

They sat around for a couple more years, and then I pieced what few blocks I had made into a long, skinny, useless top. Since I didn't have any more of any of those fabrics, and had no idea where I was going to go next with this ugly duckling, back to the pile it went.

Well, yesterday I pulled it out again, determined this time to do something with it, probably for local donation. I shopped my stash for some fabrics that I thought might work, added 3 borders, and oui, la! I now have a useful size quilt top.

Now it goes to the pile that's waiting for quilting, but I am very glad that this "festive" little quilt project will soon find a home and some love.

I think it looks great even if it did take some time and re arranging with the blocks and colors.Great job.

What a journey you both have been on! And your "destination" turned out great!

justflyingin 11-28-2012 11:08 AM

Well, you turned it into something really quite pretty! I'm glad for you and know the feeling of saving something that you didn't know what to do with a few years ago because you weren't that good yet. Feels good, huh?

Elfi2 11-28-2012 11:21 AM

How could you keep it hidden away so long! It's absolutely gorgeous

JBeamer 11-28-2012 11:52 AM

You sure can't tell that you had to find colors that were not chosen for this project from the beginning. A lovely job. Don't know what it looked like when the blocks were bad but it looks great now. Lovely colors too.
