Anywho, I went to Holbrook for a week while Joe was scout camping, hiking, and heat exhaustioning. The day we arrived in Holbrook Quintin and I got really yucky colds. With that we watched a lot of old dorky movies, Stephen King's The Stand, Jurassic Park marathon and way too many Disney movies. While watching all of these movies, I decided to finish a project I have been holding off for "gulp" six years. During my first year of marriage I made Joe a quilt top for our first Christmas together. I figured I would finish it sitting in the apartment in Flagstaff. Two years later I made the back, got some filling and basted the silly thing. It has sat in the closet ever since waiting in the dark.
My mother in law asked me what I wanted to do this week and putting my head down in shame, said "I don't really want to but I should finish this stupid quilt." We then made jokes about how I was going to be handcuffed to the sewing machine until I was done. ( I think she may have been serious) After at least 5-7 hours a day working on it, except one day when morning sickness did not want me to move, it is DONE. The quilt of doom is done. Finished on June 6th which creeps me out a little. 6 years, 6 months and 6 days. I don't really believe in that stuff but still it is creepy.

And I absolutely love it! Thanks so much! :)
That's the prettiest "damned" quilt I've ever seen! HA
That is really cool - i should send you some of my ufo's so you can finish them too. Isn't it great to get that thing done and off your mind - you'll never have to worry about it again.
