An old UFO finished!

What may have been the oldest UFO in my quilting room is now a real quilt!

I started this Baltimore Album quilt in a year long class with Mimi Dietrich back in 1992.  I lived in Baltimore so it seemed like the right thing to do!

Anyway, over the course of a year my fabric choices changed significantly and after my "real" quilt was finished I had almost a dozen blocks that didn't make the cut.  They traveled with me for many years.

Last year when I was packing to move I debated letting them go but instead they went to the top of the "to-do" list!  This is hand appliqued, hand and machine pieced, and hand quilted.

Awww, Goldie! She's an oldie..my Fang is 16 and I always worry about him, especially when I'm gone. He's not sociable so whoever takes care of him for me never sees him. Hope he makes it to 18. Glad you got your oldie quilt finished..beautiful.

Turned out beautifully. Good thing you didn't let those blocks go. You have an heirloom there.

How amazing is that! Beautiful work on a traditional piece. I love it. What an accomplishment to have all that handwork. You are an amazing quilter.

This is really beautiful. I appreciate your creativity and I love the fact that I’ve never seen something like that before.

Thanks!

Your applique quilt is so very pretty. I recently purchased some used quilt books by Mimi Dietrich. She has put out some good ones over the years.

I looked up Renninger's (you mentioned you lived near there on an earlier post). Are you near Melbourne or Mt. Dora? We visit Mt. Dora every other year renting in The Villages. In April we rented from a gal who owns the boutique in Mt. Dora (on Main Street - can't think of the name right now) Anyway, love that little town. I will contact you when we come down again (not in 2019 though). Hope you are feeling well and Florida agrees with you!

It is not everyone's business to write such a great post, one person in a million can write such a beautiful post and you are one of those millions. I hope that you will write more beautiful posts in life and also hope that you will keep climbing the ladder of achievement in your life, very few people do this but I have full hope from you.
