Default IT's FINISHED

Finally at 10:55 p.m. December 15 , 2011 the last stitch was made in the quilt I started in January 1992. Not quite 19
years but close ...
I will take pictures and post later... my fingers are so sore but I hand stitched the binding down.
Needless to say, I'm very proud of this quilt... it's not perfect but it's mine and I did all the work except quilting it and Nancy (aka Chewboo) did that. I tried hand quilting but the stitches were too large and messy looking. I figured
it's better to machine quilt and have usable quilts than to continue dreaming of hand quilting and be cold ...
