Another UFO Bites the Dust!

I put the last stitch into this wee quilt last night and thought I would share it one last time.  Hope you're not sick of seeing it...
 The binding that I used is the same fabric that was used in the background for the basket blocks.


 It's always a great feeling finishing off a quilt that has been stuck in a plastic tote for YEARS... as this one has...

I like to think of UFOs as fine wine stuck in the closet for an undetermined time...not coming out until they have mellowed and fermented nicely...into a full bodied wine...errr...I mean quilt!  Yup...that's my story and I'm sticking to it! (It makes me feel less guilty!)

I think this one is going on the dining room table...because you know the old saying...A meal without a quilt is like a day without sunshine!  Or was that, a meal without wine? Whatever... I much prefer quilt...

Have a thrilling Thursday and happy Stitching!~P

    This is SO cute! Was it a kit, or a pattern, or did you cobble together blocks you had made from different sources? Just curious. I really like it!

    How imaginative and cute! I'd love it on my table too! Am working on a UFO from about 10 yrs ago. Thanks for inspiring me.

    Are you going to reward yourself by finishing another UFO or starting something new? I love so much seeing UFOs completed!This quilt looks like you planned it!

    Beautiful quilt. No need to feel guilty about UFO's, but when you plant the seed for a song like "Another One Bites the Dust!", now you can feel guilty cause that tune is running through my brain with no relief in sight! 😜

    Adorable quilt! I too have a quilt on my table and a friend was horrified that I would use a quilt as a tablecloth--well, what are we going to do with all these quilts we make???
