).
I finally dug it out last week and decided to quilt it. In an afternoon, it was finished, binding and all. A few days later, I dealt with the stray threads and signed the back of it. Some of these things don't take very long to finish up, it's just a matter of getting around to it. My problem is, I have too many ideas and go on to the next project without completing the one before. Several years of that amounts to a skyscraper high pile of UFOs :O

UFO #7 Completed for 2013
I had this wall hanging top in my PHD files for more than 10 or 12 years. (PHD for those who don't know- "Projects Half Done"
).

"Everything But"
"Everything But".
This is the title of the quilt that my sister, Linda Huntrods just completed.
It has every colour and print of fabric except for batiks, plain black and Christmas.
She didn't like it at first because it looked so busy, but after it was quilted it she was pleased with it. Too bad the quilting design doesn't show up, maybe she can send another picture that shows quilting detail. Linda has a Pfaff machine on a quilting frame that she used to complete this quilt. I really like "Everything But...!"
