Violet-finally a finished flimsy and FNWF

 I finally finished piecing my 'A Legacy From Violet' quilt. This quilt was constructed using the English Paper Piece method and measures 94" x 97".

I never thought I would EVER finish this quilt. I always thought it would be one of those eternal UFOs. I have been working on this quilt for about nine years now. It has been banished to the back of the cupboard a few times ....usually for months at a time. But, I am pretty excited to think that it will be set up on my quilting frame soon, ready to hand quilt.

 I am so excited that I have taken WAY too many  photos. So, I will stop typing and just show you.










I am linking up with Amanda Jean at Finish It Up Friday and Jessica at Monday Morning Star Count.

Oh...and Friday Night With Friends.
Got a couple more stars stitched last night.


Don't forget to pop over here to see what everyone else got up to.

Have a great weekend.

    Absolutely gorgeous Raelee, you must be so pleased with it. The best thing about such a timeless design is you can take nine years to make it and it still looks fabulous. Happy quilting!
