Thanks, oksewglad. I had to look up Ghee’s Bend. Interesting. As for the crazy quilt, I cut a bunch of different fabrics into 13.5” squares and put 5 on my AccuQuilt Crazy Quilt die and run them through the die cutting machine. Then repeat. Corners fit perfectly together and it’s a great leader/ender project. Once I have a stack of 10, I move the top one down, then 2 down on the next stack, etc, so only one print/ plain shape ends up in each block. Sometimes, I mess up in my sewing and need to unstitch. Lol!

The Big Butterfly is finished! I finished binding it on Nov. 30 and then let it sit for a few days while I decided if I wanted to do any tweaking. No to tweaking, so it will count as a Nov. finish. Will post pics later this evening or tomorrow morning.

Has there been a discussion on this list recently about the longest-term UFO that you finally finished? I began a Hawaiian quilt in 1989. I put it away for years while I learned to spin (yarn) and was very involved with that. Then I brought it out again, finished the applique, and over a year ago I began echo quilting the whole thing by hand. It's queen size -- WHAT was I thinking?? I was obviously a whole lot younger then and apparently a lot more ambitious. At the rate it's going, I hope to finish the quilting and binding by . . . what . . . next summer sometime?

Rob- congratulations on the Big Butterfly! I'm happy it's done, since I liked it in the unfinished state. I look forward to seeing it completed.
Synnove- wow. You were ambitious! I don't do any hand quilting, even binding. Hand work is what I do with knit & crochet projects. Good luck with this long-term project. I guess you're not planning a December 2020 finish!
