No the title to this post is not referring to ME...although it could be! I'm talking about this UFO...it goes back to PRE-blogging days which is over seven years ago! Yes, the first reference to this quilt surfaced at the Buggy Barn Quilt Shop (2009) where I bought the border to go on this quilt! Read about it
HERE...
So yesterday I finally found the tote that contained this quilt, bits and pieces of the fabric, the paper templates and that FREE piece of border fabric that I 'won' from the Buggy Barn! No... the border is not on YET but it will be and SOON! Here she is getting her first pressing in over SEVEN YEARS! She had more wrinkles than ME...which is a lot!
I remember buying this pattern at my first Road to California Quilt Show which I attended in 2008! I started stitching the hexagons IMMEDIATELY as I had caught the Hexie bug....but (alas) it has been a UFO for the last seven YEARS!! I think we will have to call her the 'Seven Year Itch' because I have definitely got the itch to get 'er done! She is out of the box and will be next in line for completion! Yeehaw!
Have a magical Monday and Happy Stitching!~P
You're such a goof but LOVE the name of the quilt "7 year itch". How perfect (IF you get er done this year)!! She looks like an oldie but a goodie!
ReplyDeleteVery fun title for this quilt. : )
ReplyDeleteI am not trying to One-up you, but this makes me think of my first hexie project that is still a UFO--after 20 years now!! I really should do something about it someday.
I love the quilt and the title!
ReplyDeleteRight back in style again. The Hexie craze has taken over big time. Can't wait to see how you quilt it. Chris
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty Paulette! Do you recall the fabric collection? Looks a little like 3 Sisters.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you steaming down the final straight towards the winners ribbon! Whats 7 years between friends, we have all been there!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it great when you get up the steam to finish off a lovely that's been patiently waiting for you in a box? It's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful quilt and will be nice to have it done and be able to display it.

It's a great quilt to finish and once you get an itch, it's best to give it a scratch.
ReplyDeleteAwww, she looks so sweet. I can hardly wait to see her with borders, all quilted up and bound.
ReplyDeleteDon't ya love finishing off UFO's. Can hardly wait to see the border on! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, and it will be gorgeous and soft when it's quilted. Definitely worth some attention now!
