{ Three Years and the Blogger's Quilt Festival-Fall 2016 }

ORIGINAL POST from AUGUST 2016
That's how long this UFO has been hanging around. It was all cut out but has spent the better part of three years in a project box. Why? I'm not sure. It may have had something to do with the 780 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" red squares that needed to be sewn on to 195 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" rectangles.

Actually, it had everything to do with that. 
The original post can be found HERE

Oh My Stars!
Pattern by Make it Do
Finished size 50 x 68
Fabric: American Banner Rose and Friendship

    Wow. Credit to you to have a project "resting" for so long and then get back to it and finish as beautifully as you did.

    I'm finally getting around to visiting the Let's Be Social links. Oh my goodness! That is one of THE MOST GORGEOUS quilts I've seen this year. My favorite color is red and I love everything about this quilt. Congratulations on an outstanding finish! What are you going to do with this beauty?

      Thanks Janice. I really like red too. It seems to pop in any quilt. For now this quilt is staying with me, it matches well with our den furniture.
