Can't believe it--51/2 year old UFO completed!

The title says it all! Well, almost. Not sure why it looks smaller than when it was a top (see Warm Wishes in WIP album), especially since I added the border.

Yup, got a bit of ripple on that border, and the tension on the back is a little iffy, but DONE is GOOD!

Gorgeous, Heidi. Gorgeous. Now . .. here's what you do with that ripple. Get the quilt very lightly damp - a mister spray will do fine - and pin that rascal out true and straight into the carpet with corsage pins or something. When it dries, it will be as unrippled as a champ. It really will. Some fabrics are tightly woven, some are mushy or soft and all sorts of variables attempt to defy us. The blocking will put an end to that. So there! And yes, yes. Done is good. Done is wonderful. Polly

The stripey border on this one is the same as on Eliana's quilt. Her mom saw the quilt and said she loved it (she won't put Eliana's on the floor...wants to hang it in her room) so I'm going to send it to her to be the play quilt. I'm embarrassed to say it took a minute or so before we realized I'd used the same border fabric!

Thank you all for your sweet comments. Yes it feels wonderful to finish it, and amazing--7th quilt this year--after finishing exactly ONE [baby] quilt during all of the last FOUR years!

LOL ... I read the subject as 51 and one-half year old UFO .... I looked at the photo and thought "that's not that old!"

This is why I read most instructions twice!!! Lovely quilt, great color!!!

Woo-hoo! Heidi, it was worth the wait! :-) Those mitered corners on the striped border are fantastic!

You're not alone Lobo. I did a double take, too, though I though it said 51 to 52 year old >g< . In message , Lobo writes
