Really old........






Well this is it....!!!!
the last flimsy from the old days that I have.....
it has taken me a while to get through the pile...
Made 15 or more years ago..it might even be 20 years....
I even tea dyed the calico...yes calico, it always scared me back then how expensive fabric was....
the fabric I have used is awful....
not sure were my taste was...LOL
Anyway, I am going to quilt it this weekend.....
maybe it will improve...
but I doubt it.......
have a fantastic hump day

  6. Hey Sweet Peg! I know JUST how you feel about your poor unfinished baby! :0) I started dabbling in applique and quilting when we still lived in Bourke and there were very few fabric options out there. My first few quilts were calico and country checks and tartans ... one partially quilted project discovered in the back of a cupboard when we moved a couple of years ago. I figure ONE DAY I'll get around to finishing it and use it as a picnic rug, since I won't be worrying about ruining good fabrics. :0) Look forward to seeing your 'ugly duckling' turn into a swan, cos all your projects do! :0) Bear Hugs! KRIS xx

  10. I am so pleased that you are going to finish off this one. Our tastes may have changed and fabric options become much greater, but it is still part of your quilting journey. Am I right in guessing that you did all that applique by hand? And I'm guessing your boys were keeping you busy back then too? Definitely worth finishing.

  11. Maybe you wouldn't choose it today, but the girls are right, it's all part of your quilting journey. Someone somewhere needs a warm quilt and this one could be just right. Good on you for getting through all your ufos.
