I have been sick for a week now...
I was feeling well enough earlier this week to do some handwork. I walked into my sewing room and looked around for something to work on. This UFO has been on the floor of my room for a year now.
I started this quilt somewhere between 1998 and 2000, back when I still lived with mom and dad.
I found the pattern in a magazine (don't ask me which one!) and used my mom's scraps. My mom quilted it at some time when she lived in Markham, so between 2002 and 2005.

The binding was half done. I didn't know what I was going to do with this quilt so there was no need to finish it!

I still don't know where this quilt will live but at least now it's done! (And I even washed it... it was a little dusty!)
I love a good scrap quilt!!
Oh my! It's a gorgeous quilt! Poor quilt, sitting with only half binding for so many years :) Good for you for rescuing it!
ReplyDeleteIt is gorgeous and my favorite thing to do now when I finish a quilt is to wash it and have it become all crinkly!! It should not have a hard time finding a home.. the cute ones always go first...
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely. I hope you're soon feeling better:)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you haven't been feeling well, Ginette! Hope the bug is over soon. Very cool quilt. I used to live in Markham when I was a kid -- great town. What a great scrappy quilt, Ginette! I'm sure you'll find a good use for it now that it's done.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better. Your scrappy quilt is lovely...its always nice to finish a UFO
