It was fun as I zipped away at piecing the squares. I even bought different coordinating colors of thread for the decorative topstitching. I decorated a couple squares with assorted stitching and that's where I stopped. This quilt was put into a plastic bag and became a UFO for many years.
Working on my UFOs I opened this bag and looked at this quilt I wondered what made me stop - why didn't I finish it. I was so close to being done. All the squares were pieced and assembled together. All I had left to do was continue the decorative stitching. As I pondered what happened to this quilt I realized that I didn't like the decorative stitching on the squares - so I stopped. So now I guess I will call this the un-crazy quilt.
I spent the next couple hours ripping out the decorative stitching on the couple squares and was already feeling better about the finish. Heck, I even had the backing folded up with the quilt. I loaded the quilt on my longarm and a few hours later it was ready for binding.
I love this quilt.
All bound and it's ready for a new home on my queen bed.
This was crazy easy - or should I say un-crazy. At this pace I should be zipping through all these UFOs. With quilt six finished back to the pile.
