Good News for an Old Project

 I pieced this Irish Chain using blue scraps, many of them batiks, a light blue tone on tone print for the background, early in my quilting career. It's queen sized and shown as an unfinished top on my bed. It's not a great picture. I never really liked it; I thought the color scheme was going to work for me but it just didn't, and it's so huge. It is too big for me to quilt on my domestic sewing machine, and it would take me like 10 years to hand quilt it. So it's just sat in a pile in a bin for literally years.

Until last week anyway, when I finally gave it away to a friend. Originally she was going to use it for an idea she had for our guild's summer challenge, but she decided against it, and another guild friend stepped up and offered to quilt it on her longarm for charity.

I am so happy about this! 

I get to pass along a UFO I didn't like and may have never finished, and someone somewhere will get a quilt! A huge queen sized quilt too! 

Everybody wins.

Thank you Chris and Jody for your generosity in helping this quilt find a forever home!
