I started piecing this quilt in 2008 in my neighborhood quilt group, which has long since disbanded, but is where I learned to quilt. I got it all sewed together a year or two later and started hand-quilting. I was three-quarters done when I decided I didn’t like the pattern I was doing and ripped it all out. Then I started over with the quilting. It takes me a while to do the hand-quilting, so this has been hanging around. I got the binding sewn on in October and then worked slowly at hand-sewing the binding. A bout of bronchitis in the middle of December allowed me to finally finish this quilt. I like it so much that I have decided to keep it as a lap quilt for myself and have been enjoying snuggling underneath it while watching movies.
