After 20 years, this UFO is DONE! It seems quite fitting that this is my last finish for the decade!
You may remember that it looked totally different at the beginning of the year.
I was never happy with it, and I finally decided to take it apart and try again. Now it is finally done. It is handpieced, except for the borders, and machine quilted.
I purchased these fabrics in Amsterdam in 1999. I started piecing the flowers soon after.
I’m still not 100% happy, but I think my fear of ruining these special fabrics kept me paralyzed. Now I can enjoy them on a wall instead of in a box.
I’m not happy with my machine quilting in the hexies, but I love the border.
Finished is definitely better than perfect. Have a great day!

Love this quilt! Could you tell us the finished size?
It doesn’t matter how long it took… The end result is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Your long experience making quilts is showcased with this piece. It turned out very well. May I ask the size of the quilt please?
Oh I think that is gorgeous!!! and yes – it will be much more enjoyed if it is out of a box! That quilting in the borders – stunning!
Such a pretty quilt. I love the quilting.
I think the hexies look fine, I love the border quilting! What a lovely project to end the year and decade with. Happy Stitching!
You have done an amazing turnaround on that quilt! It’s just beautiful. Hugs,
I LOVE it! Good for you for finishing it up!!
It’s absolutely beautiful! I like the revised version!
What a special quilt! Very appropriate that you started it in the last century and are finishing it at the end of the second decade of the new one.
Love your quilt. I am tempted to start a new hexi quilt (I have made one already). thanks for sharing.
That looks so pretty – it looks like it belongs on the front cover of a book about vintage quilts.
Beautiful! I love it and don’t see anything wrong with your quilting.you did a wonderful job!
