A Few Years in the Making

I really don't remember how many years ago I started this quilt. It didn't take long to put it together and I was going great guns in quilting it at first, then life happened as it does and this poor quilt got folded up and put in the closet. I am surprised it didn't fade with age ! Today when I was looking for a pattern for a little girls dress I found this old quilt, half done. I took it out and ran my finger over the quilting, remembering how I wanted to have so many stitches per inch. Tiny straight stitches. Its time to finish it up and use it as it should be used. I remember picking the colors for a girls room all done in pastels and flowers, now its a room of Asian decoration and the girl is a young woman. Guess that gives you an idea of how long its been !
