Just finished! It's taken about 21/2 months but worth it to me. It's for a wonderful couple that have been fabulous friends for 10 yrs or so. Finished was 40" X 60" before I added trim

I would love to I am not sure for the one I did for my sister in law I did take a picture but am not sure where it is and sorry to say with in a year of giving it to her she past away from cancer @ age 32. Have no ideas what her husband did with it. It's colors were pink and the size was queen size. when I made it she had no idea I was making it which was a hard thing from keeping it from her since I worked with her three days a week. The other one I believe my son moved out he took it with him. Since I do not do stairs I will have to ask my other son to look for both quilts

I know how hard it is to make them so I can appreciate the work you put into yours.

I do have fabric to make mine but sad to say my sewing machine is over 30 years old and the tension doesn't work it's either too tight or too lose. I made a skirt for my Christmas 🎄 tree and that is stored away. One big thing with this disease is that I can't even get to the things in my own house. I will see what I can do about the pictures.

Thanks for asking.

Very nice.

Absolutely gorgeous. Did you work from a pattern?

Nope, I just taught myself Corner2Corner stitch this year and love it. I did keep track of measurements and amount of yarn, etc. I tried a few different trims before settling on the one I used. Remind me in a couple of weeks and maybe I'll have it all put into a word doc I can send to you.

You always do beautiful work! The outcome, regardless of the time spent, is worth it. If your friends don't like it, you can see how many folks here would snatch it in a heartbeat!

If I remember correctly, we even cheered on for the Red Sox. I've always had a soft spot for Red Sox baseball⚾️and New England Patriots football. Even though when it comes to football🏈 the Oakland Raiders are our team!😃
