The Quilt: Completed! (almost)
In 2007 (2007!!!), I had the grand idea of making a quilt. The idea got grander when I decided that I was going to make the whole thing by hand. No sewing machine! BUT, the grandest part of this idea was when I started cutting the squares and made them tiny.
I hope you caught my sarcasm.
I posted about the beginnings of the quilt in 2009 in case you want a little more history.
Anyway, here we are 4 years later and it's completed! Almost. The thing that makes something a quilt is that it is actually quilted. Mine is together, has a back, and batting in between. But it's not quilted. But I can throw it on a bed and actually use it. I can wrap myself up in it on the couch. I can lay my brand new sweet baby on it to play.
And I feel proud that I did it by hand. And my late grandmother, Mimo, is proud.
Oh, and it's HUGE. Queen size!
Wow, great job! I also have grand ambitions of doing some type of similar project but I don't even know where to begin. I'm impressed you stuck with it this whole time! Now are you going to make more or have you reached your lifetime quilting quota? ;)
