Stick a Fork In It

 Guess what's finally done? Well, almost done.



 All the blocks are sewn together. All the papers are out. After 6 years of wrestling with it I am counting the place we are now as a done.



 It still needs to be sandwiched and quilted but the soap/sewing room is in full soap mode at the moment so it will have to wait.



I can tell you one thing I learned from this epic experience. I could remove Daddio's thread basted squares much easier than my glued ones. It's something to think about when you have this many to remove. What a job.

    Oh. My. Goodness. That is just lovely Debra. The memories you have of doing things with your Dad is wonderful. I have never paper pieced, but I sure have admiration and respect for those that do.
    Blessings,
    Betsy

    It is absolutely beautiful!!! Epic experience is certainly correct. First of all, I can't imagine making all those squares and I think it is hand pieced. Wow! And then removing all the papers. The end result is just spectacular.
