Well, while most of us we're relaxing this summer, Chris was beavering away and look at the result! Started over 6 years ago, this patchwork quilt is finally finished and it looks stunning. So far this is the largest (and oldest) of the UFOs that have been dusted off, tended to with care and completed to everyone's surprise and delight!
Chris is no patchwork novice as she made her first quilt in the 1970s and has made several since including a cot quilt. She finds it "incredibly calming and creative" and says that - when the UFO leaflet came winging through her door - she realised that she now had no excuse not to finish this piece.
Chris obviously has a very patient daughter, too!
There is chatter amongst the group that there are some even older unfinished items but no-one, yet, has dared bring them along. Now where is that jumper I started in the 1990s?....
