Unfinished Projects

This is the quilt I finished last year. It was started more than fifteen years ago. I finished piecing it and started the quilting way back then. I took it off the quilting frame to move. That was three moves ago. Last year I decided it was high time I finished it.


My initial plan was to use it in the guest room, which I didn't have at the time. Even though all three of the boys are grown and living elsewhere, we use our two additional bedrooms as offices/project rooms.





After I spread it out on the bed, I realized the appliqued bows would look better facing out instead of inward. I don't know why that didn't occur to me when I could do something about it earlier.



I used to remember how many different fabrics I used - I know it was over 100. I cut out too many of the pink, red, and brown rectangles, so I made a baby quilt with pink and light brown pieces alternating with plain muslin instead of the light colored prints.


I also made a small top with the leftover red and darker brown rectangles. My next project will be to get that quilted.


One unfinished project down - only umpteen more to go.
