I started this quilt way back in December 2010 when on a trip to Dublin for my brother in laws wedding. Over the past few years I have pottered away on them but I now have a bee in my bonnet about them and they have been hanging around for FAR TOO LONG!!
My goal for 2014 is to finish the top - I have 39 pies and tarts to go, out of 100 of each. Once the top is together I need to applique the tarts onto it. This is where I want it to be by year end. I just need to double my yearly average to get all the piecing done and then get the applique done, and I will meet my goal! With my track record, not sure if I like my chances but I am going to give it one helluva shot!
Then 2015 will be calling for it to be sandwiched, stitched in the ditch and then the hand quilting that I oh-so-love will begin...but I think I am getting a little bit ahead of myself there.
The funny thing about this quilt is that it really does not go with our house, so I have no idea where I will put it once it is done. One thing is for sure, I will be keeping it after all the blood, sweat and tears of putting it all together!
