The 5 year project is complete!

This is the first quilt I ever started...5 years ago! I did EVERYTHING wrong too! I had NO idea how to quilt when I started this, I am really not sure what I was thinking taking on a full bed size quilt as my first project.

After taking a few quilting classes I pulled it out again last year and completed sewing the top. I had sooo many problems when I began quilting it that I was going to toss the uncompleted mess after moving it from Oregon, Utah, Colorado and now to California but Dereck kept asking me to finish it anyway so I finally did...its far from perfect but it's finished! I learned a lot! And now I get to start another! :) Yay!


Machine quilting....that was the hardest part because you have to deal with so much bulk and you get a lot of "drag" from the weight while trying to quilt it.
