Nature's Gifts...UFO #15

Another UFO is pieced....#15.  this was just the book and fabrics in a box. i got it back out and started piecing on January 12, 2015 and finally finished it today, March, 14, 2015.  

The pattern was in 4 issues of AQS magazine...from Fall 2007 through March 2008.  i changed a few colors and deleted a few things. They had angelina fibers, paint, mesh fabrics, yarn, tulle, beads and other things incorporated into the blocks. i didn't want to take the time to do all of that. and it probably would not have been washable if i had.

But i still  like it the way i did it.

When i quilt it i will add things like butterfly and dragonfly antennae and such.

I have some fullness issues in the borders that will have to be dealt with in quilting. that orange ribbon border was the problem i believe.

It is about 58" square. it may have to marinate in the TBQ cabinet for some time.
