THE 5 YEAR QUILT


5 years ago I wanted to make a star quilt


3 years ago I started picking out fabric and let it sit around for several months


2 years ago I finished piecing the quilt


over 1 year ago I started quilting


last month I finished--whoopee!

You must feel so nice tucking yourself in every night now! Great accomplishment. Love the colors too!
I think I have cut out in the basement for a couple "future quilts"...maybe in a few years!

Yea--you finished it!! I love the pillows too-- a lot of extra work, but it finished everything so nicely. I really like the multi-dash border around the whole thing. Very nice.
