Tonight is my guild meeting and I did get the UFO top done. I had the blocks pieced and one block appliqued. Once I got the flowers prepared the applique went really fast. Now if you remember I mentioned that I started this quilt in 2000 or so. I had just started quilting the year before. When I started putting all the pieces together, I have to admit I was a little worried. I feared it would not fit right but I am so happy that it went together perfectly. Take a look at the extensions in the border. The lady that designed this quilt must be a mathematician too.

Love that quilt, Carrie! And yes, the designer must have been a mathmatician. It's beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAt our guild meetings, we have a segment called IFFI's..."I Finally Finished It." It's pronounced iffy as in jiffy but without the "j". We bring in our UFO's that are finally completed and then graduate to being an IFFI. It's a lot of fun and an inspiration to those who have iffies themselves.
Thanks for mentioning my Give Away. My lamp is looking for a new home.
That quilt is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt feels so good to finish a UFO. Maybe I should try it. LOL
That quite the project to undertake if you'd only been quilting for a year! Pretty.
ReplyDeleteWow beautiful quilt!! I can't believe you started it just after you started quilting.
ReplyDeleteHooray on getting a UFO done!!
Crispy
Your finished UFO is just wonderful. You must be so exited to have pulled it out and finished it! It's like getting a quilting bonus.
ReplyDeleteCarrie beautiful quilt.

ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning my new blog. Small world you being from Simi Valley. I lived in Oxnard for several years.
Carrie! That quilt is sooooo lovely. And I adore your new banner. Forgive my absence. I had to give up on the Tisket Tasket bom but I'm looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, your quilt and pattern are gorgeous, to think you started something as complicated as this just after you started quilting. I'm in awe. Wished I could see it in person.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is bright and cheerful...I bet you got oohs and aaahs at guild!
ReplyDeleteOoh, Carrie - was it tedious to get the quilt blocks to "lean" into the border? How cool!
ReplyDeleteone more UFO - bites the dust!
Very clever and the borders sure give it zing! Math is not my strongest subject, but I sure would like to try that kind of border. Lovely applique, too!
ReplyDeleteWOW, that quilt is a masterpiece! Thanks for sharing that with us, thanks for finishing it! I don't have many UFO's because I am crazy about finishing things.
ReplyDeleteCarrie, your quilt looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteBoy obviously a lot of adding and subtracting done there.
