Broken Herringbone Finished At Last!

I started this quilt in August of 2013.  I never dreamed that it would take me a whole 14 months to finish this, after all Molly Sparkles had this as a 12 week QAL.  I kept up with the QAL for about 9 weeks and then put the project aside for 9 months!  I do not want my quilts to turn out like all my scrapbooks!!!


I have posted before about the baptist fan and quilting it.  Honestly I do t know that I will ever quilt this pattern again.  It's beautiful but takes a long time to mark and quilt.  Great to have done but not good enough to entice me to do it again.  


I'm sorry that you can see the markings on the quilt still, My last step is washing off all the markings.  I do love this quilt and am going to put it on my guest bedroom bed.


The fabric is a Robert Kaufmann jelly roll and a Kona cotton grey.  The back really does match the front even though my nighttime lights are crazy wierd tonight.

Congratulations on finishing it, I joined in the QAL too but the quilt has been sat finished in the cupboard since then!

Yay for a finish! I'm quilting a top now that has been finished for a year. Other projects just get in the way sometimes! :)

14 months isn't too bad. I have ufo's that are way older than that! LOL!

It turned out really lovely. I like the cozy florals with the gray solid. Fun pattern too.

It took a long time, but it is beautiful! I love the subdued color scheme.
