I pieced one quilt over a year, BOM when I lived in the city, then I moved to the country, pop.160, and spent my evenings hand quilting it over the next year. It's my all time fav quilt that I've made.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12037415376456508137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443247585927280557.post-73975435464688499782011-01-10T11:41:44.609-05:002011-01-10T11:41:44.609-05:00Great quilt and wonderful journey to get there!

I think I'm going to try and focus and get some of those ufos done this year.
