March UFO - One day to spare

I finished the March UFO. It is my husband's birthday present. His birthday was 17 days ago! It took me three weeks to put it together. Ridiculous. I have the backing to piece together and I will call to get it quilted.



I'm actually frightened by this quilt. Yep, I think it is scary!!! I know I've whined about it. I know quilting will make it wonderful and my husband will enjoy snuggling up with it at night while watching sports or some movie.

It's done. Strips cut out in November of 2008. Sitting in a project bin until March 2012. haha It was on the list for last years UFO challenge and I absolutely could not do it. Frankly, I will never make another lasagna quilt.

Lessons learned in March: I don't like making scrappy quilts. I like looking at others scrappy quilts but not my own.
