Friday Finish: Ten Year Old UFO

I put the last stitches in the binding this morning. This quilt was made from a free tutorial on the Wedding Dress Blue blog. The pattern is called, "Film at Five". We are having a UFO completion challenge in our guild, this was one of the items on my list. I guess ten years from start to finish isn't too bad. :) I forgot how big this quilt was, it turned out to be queen size. I couldn't display the whole thing hanging straight on the photography frame, it went all the way to the ceiling with the bottom part resting on the floor. It's still too mucky outside to take a picture on the lawn. Normally, I don't like to use a pure white fabric for the backing, but I had a lot of it in my stash. It's good to use what we already have, considering the high cost of fabric these days. The quilting is a free-motion "Topographical Map" design.
