This quilt was a pattern I tested for The Quilted Cardinal nearly two years ago. I never fully assembled the top because I didn't like the navy blue bits in it, and I knew it would take me considerable time to rip it all out; and as I've said, I hate ripping. So I stuck it in the cabinet, and it became a UFO.Several days ago when I was considering what I might like to accomplish in my sewing room this year, I decided it was high time to get this quilt finished. This is what the quilt looked like before I removed the navy blue. While I was at it, I decided to take out the dark green too and a piece of red in one of the center pinwheels that seemed distracting.
Here is the quilt now with the first border attached, and I like it so much better. The last border will be a crazy pieced border, and then it will be ready for quilting.

That's going to be a really pretty quilt!
I like this pattern. Thanks for sharing it!
Happy New Year also!!
Your ripping paid off, don't you think? That's going to be really pretty when it's finished, Sue.
I thought it was ok before, now it looks great!
Your revised version is wonderful and I do like it better than the original one. I must admit, all that ripping and resewing would have kept me from making any changes. You are a trooper!
