Louisa Quilts: UFO for March

Nearly done! But since my goal is to complete this as a challenge project that is due this summer, I have plenty of time to finish up the binding.

This is an OLD project. The fabrics are vintage – from the 50s. I assembled the piece at least 20 years ago, and it has been waiting ever since to be completed. I think the solid black fabric is a polyester blend. (I either didn’t know the difference back then or I didn’t have any black cotton.)

I backed it with muslin, added a scrap of lovely wool batting, and did some hand quilting. Please don’t look at my stitches too closely.
