I Still Love It!

I'd like to say that 

I have very few unfinished projects,

 but then you'd know this would happen.

About a month ago I found tucked away 

this sweet crib quilt that still needed to be finished.

 

36" x 42"

 In 2005 a friend showed me

a late 19th century antique crib quilt 

she had recently bought.

I loved it and knew I had to make

a copy of it.

 I searched through my repro stash and found

the perfect pieces and

started sewing square in a square blocks.

I loved the soft browns and pinks

with the few pieces of indigo blue.

I have searched high and low for the
photos of the original quilt so
you could see the comparison,
but that would require a whole lot more searching.

So you'll have to take my word
that it looks like its twin.

But the question remains:
Why did I stop?

Here it is:
I wasn't in the mood to handquilt
and to figure out an appropriate design.

So away it went into the depths of the closet.

As you can see 
it really wasn't even that hard to decide,
but it must have been at the time.
That's all I can say.

No matter the excuses,
after 10 years I still love it and
so glad that it's done!

Until Next Time-
