First project finished!

[zoethe]

I finally finished the first project of my renewed quilting career, an Amish-inspired wallhanging that I began almost 18 years ago when living in Fairbanks. I made the top then and quilted the middle portion of it, then could not find a border pattern I liked. Then I got away from quilting for a long time. When I picked it up again, finishing this piece seemed like a good place to start, and in a moment of serendipity I happened across the perfect border pattern in a local quiltshop. This morning I finished the binding. Here's a picture of the whole quilt and a bit of detail on the border. (Crossposted to my journal and a couple communities)

Great colors! Hats off to you for finishing! I lose enthusiasm for a project, and then come to hate it if it hangs around too long. More than one article of clothing has finally been sewn and then given away because I was sick of looking at it. (High 'guilt' factor, for taking so long)

Whereas I can't imagine giving this away, it's been part of my life for so long!
