Nearly at the Finish Line!

Well after some sewing bursts I have finally, finally, finally finished this quilt top! In my last post I thought it would be okay with just one more row, but no, of course that would have been to close to the finish line. It needed another row on the other side. So 20 more daizie blocks later.....

Its huge. It measures 78 by 88 inches. It has been trimmed. It has been ironed. It is currently all folded ready for me to mail off to the LAQ tomorrow! I know I am not at the finish line yet, not till the binding is sewn down. Hopefully that won't take an another 6 years to accomplish like this has. How embarrasing to write that. Is that the longest WIP ever? 2007 till now?

It is fabulous. It's not the longest UFO ever. In 2011 I was asked to finish a 20+ year old quilt for the mother of a friend. She was terminally ill and wanted to see it done before she died so that the kids could have it...

I think that projects have their own time line...that seldom matches up with ours. Well done. I love your happy field of daisies.

Helen, it's beautiful! And I recently found scraps from a project started in 2003, so don't feel bad!
Glad you stuck with it, that's going to be a great quilt to wake up to every morning!
