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. http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q...ted/002-20.jpg |

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

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?
