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

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

it's better to machine quilt and have usable quilts than to continue dreaming of hand quilting and be cold
