An old UFO done

 Way back in 2012 I joined in on 2 different challenges. I love doing challenges. One was New York Beauty blocks and the other was a colour challenge. I combined the 2 and did the New York Beauty blocks in the colours for the challenge of the month. I got lots of the New York Beauty blocks done, and then for some unknown reason, it sat and aged. Fast forward to 2020 when I decided it was time to finish it. The piecing was done and the long arming was done and then, once more it sat in quilt limbo. I think moving and getting settled and renovations and more renovations may have had something to do with it. Plus it is a small square quilt, maybe 54 x 54 and I wasn’t quite sure what to do with it. So, lets do another fast forward to a couple of weeks ago when one of the ladies from the Prayers and Squares group posted a gorgeous picture of a New York Beauty quilt and she asked if I was up to doing something like it. I replied that I already had done one, which inspired me to go searching through the piles of quilts to find it and pick out a binding and get it finished. So here we are today, 13 1/2 years after it was started, finally finished. I think it is going to get used as a table topper of our kitchen table. Here’s a close up of the binding, my signature striped binding,  and four of the blocks . I started this year with a list of 16 UFOs. This finish means I have knocked 11 off that list.
