Way back in the mists of time, at a crafty peeps weekend away in the year of can't remember, some 1930's repros were turned into a miniature quilt top...eventually in a very much "on again/off again which spool of thread was I using oh who cares this one will do for this attempt" fashion it had over the ensuing years ended up at about 3/5ths hand quilted...Friday night it was unburied when moving something else and the weekend stitchy task became "get it from hanging over the tapestry frame in a state of being ignored and into the state of a finished quilt"...and wonder of wonders I actually achieved that objective...
The hanger is just for taking the photo, it will find a home on a horizontal surface.
Double X: from "Fat Quarter Quilting: 1930's Style" by Lori Smith", 16" x 20", hand quilted in the ditch
Enjoy your week.
Happy Stitching...

Wow this is amazing.
Can't go wrong with '30's prints and sweet little blocks.
love it! so glad you resolved to finish it, it is so gorgeous.

It looks fantastic!
Congratulations on the finish - when something has been lurking "through the mists of time" it's always an achievement to see the back of it. (Did trumpets sound and did you hear angels singing? )
Jokes aside - its lovely and was well worth digging out of the pile !
You funny girl Annette - I think we all have something that has laid unfinished since before colour was invented... it's so lovely, well done on just picking it up and finishing it... now you have a great story behind it!! x
Woohoo...got to love it when something that's been hanging around for too long makes it to 'finished'.... well done...
