I ended up about a month ago doing a complete organization and clean up of my quilting studio. In the process I found that I had numerous half done projects. My short attention span often gets me in trouble. I start something, tuck it away after a while, and it can be years, yes years, before I rediscover it. This was one of those projects. I discovered it was completely appliquéd. I had done it in a very small invisible thread zigzag. It was complete up through the thin green border. I had been smart enough to save the fabrics I had used and put them into the bag with the top.
I added the white background final border. It has been spray basted and I am now quilting in the leaves and lattice. I will move on to the pink flowers and tan prints once I have accomplished the green. The white border will get a meandering quilting.
I did not think I was smart enough to cut a binding for it, but after searching through a large jar of cut bindings I keep I realized I had actually thought ahead. There was a little ziplock bag of the green fabric used in the lattice.
This truly will be a finish this time so I am linking up with
Awesome find! I have quilting ADHD too.
ReplyDeleteGood for you for looking to see if you had the biggest ding. I always discover mine after I have sewn in another fabric. Thanks for linking up with Oh Scrap. Have fun quilting!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great find, and will make a beautiful finish! I have half-forgotten projects like that, too, but can't seem to make myself pull them out to work on them. Always starting something new!
ReplyDeleteToo nice to remain "lost".
ReplyDeleteWhat's better than a PHD (project half done)? A PAD -- project almost done! What a great discovery. The quilt will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteYeah for finishing up a long lost friend! Thanks for linking to Finished or Not Friday.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your list and thank you for taking part in the Finish-Along!
