Finished or Not Finished Friday! Growing Up Odd! 6-30 23!

I’m sharing this “ it took me forever “ finish, finally!, over at Alycia Quilts. 

You must check out her Pink Lemonade quilt! 

I finally have this finished quilt to show. I started it a long time ago. It was my leader and ender project for more than one year. If I search my blog using the Growing Up Odd label, blogger goes back to 5-4-21. But that post lists a to-do as “keeping making Growing Up Odd blocks! So who knows!

But it took awhile. There are 1,552 2” squares in the smaller version of the original pattern, Growing Up Odd from Deanna at Wedding Dress Blue. I stitched the final stitch in the binding last night watching TV. But had it to Show and Tell at Thursday Stitchers yesterday. A new member to our group said the colors were “magnificent”! I never intended this to be anything but a utilitarian quilt. A picnic quilt! She said, “Ooh No, No, No! You must hang it!” I appreciate her compliment, she’s a respected fiber artist in our community! But I don’t think it will hang. It’s very heavy!

Hanging on our side fence. Touching the ground, it’s 74x74

Close up of the many fabrics! Yes, there are duplicates!

Close up of the back!Nikki used a great design, in multi colored thread. I don’t remember the name of the design.

So to you, blogger friends and readers, it is finally done! You won’t have to see another post about this one! 😄

Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
