Why?

WHY does it take me SO LONG to finish stuff? This was a hand sewing project years ago - I remember taking it to Danetre quilters and doing it there and I was only a member there for a year and I think that was possibly before I joined Lutterworth Piecemakers..... and I was a member there for at least six years. Can this project really be that old?!!! Anyway, finished now. As is my usual style, by the time I abandoned it, it was almost finished. I just spent two evenings sewing it together and another evening doing battle with the handles and getting them passed by quality control(Mark)and it was done. I remember why I abandoned it - all the hexagons are fussy cut and I realised I had cut them wrong so a lot of the cats wouldn't be sitting straight in the patches - does that matter? NO!

Oldest UFO?

Possibly (but not definitely) my oldest UFO. This was a row by row sampler quilt at Lutterworth Piecemakers. At least six years ago I reckon..... I have quilted it this year and just finished the binding.
