This is finally finished and blocked after all these years. The full photo is before I finished quilting out the corners but I included details of the corner quilting. It was fun doing the 'writing' and including the history of the quilt. The only unfortunate issue was that one of the people that I got a block from did not wash the fabric first and one of the reds bled on a few of the other blocks. Since I was not planning on this going to any shows I really am not stressing over is. Just one of those little OOPS of life.
The story behind this quilt is that underneath each tie is a line that my friends heard when they were dating. Some of them are quite funny. One of the women used a piece of an actual tie on her shirt.
Working on finishing up some older quilts and newer projects as the mood inspires. Even have one that I am working on that is hand quilted that I will finish up the bit of hand quilting and then probably add machine work to spice it up. I will post more information on that little project later.
