Years In The Making!

Perfectly!! Aged!! My friend says all fiber and textiles must be aged!  Actually, a good excuse if you haven’t finished a project for awhile.  
That’s what you can say about this piece—well aged.  In fact, years in the making.  Once, I took up this project again, it was a challenging goal to complete. Yes!  It must be finished!

The final touch—I had plenty of half square triangles ready, why not use to add another row?  Perfect!!

Looking good!!  That’s it!  I pronounce this quilt top ready for the long arm!! Ta-da!  After years waiting in the wings, this was tackled! 

And—another one, after being “aged” ended up with the complete treatment!!  
Wave the magic wand—accomplished!! Hearts galore!!
And talk about well aged!! This goes back to 2003!  I know to me it doesn’t sound that old—our granddaughter was 12–now she’s 31!  I had good intentions to make this quilt for her as she did all the coloring.  She loved to color and it a great job too.  The pieces were heat set by hot iron.  Now, I’m ready to piece it together. 

She helped me decide what part went with each body—the body parts were all separate and could be combined for any character.  It was fun to decide what head got what!

Well aged indeed.
