...what a happy, happy surprise when I unearthed it...all 42 of the blocks were DONE...
...YIPPEE! and tucked right there with the blocks was the piece of fabric for the setting triangles...what in the world was I thinking? Why did I get all those blocks done? Why did I stop when I was on the home stretch? I have absolutely no idea...I don't remember what happened. But thanks to Thelma, I searched for it and I finished the top...
...my first finish on my new machine! Howie wandered into the picture
and got his feelings hurt when I told him I was going to delete the picture because Mr. Quilt Holder had the left corner a little crinkled...so here you go Howie...don't tell Zack you are on the blog today!Thank you Thelma and Nicole...Blogland is the BEST!!!!!!!!

Happy, Happy Surprise - woohoo!!! It's beautiful and I know it must be for ME. ROFLOL
Oh my gosh - you had all those blocks DONE and hadn't put it together! It is wonderful!
Quilt blocks always have several names. I think this is one of my favorites--or real close to it--- The North Wind Block...I love this...Really scrappy. The pup makes the quilt....
Love it!
I see a lot of triangles in that quilt!
Wow...love the quilt~!!!
Beautiful quilt! Chloe our goldie wanders into pictures when I don't want her there, but won't pose for me when I want her to...go figure
What a treat to find a quilt so close to completion, and such a pretty one!! Great way to break in your new baby :)
Very beautiful completion. It is gorgeous!
Give yourself kudos for having stored it so well in the first place, making it easy to start again!!

Beautiful Carol! I am on a quest to finish UFO's too.
Beautiful quilt...and wonderful surprise! It must have been waiting for the first ride on the new machine!
Love the Belle Meade!! Isn't it funny how we find projects and don't remember how far along they were. You had a great surprise by being far along and now it's done! Wonderful!
Are you kidding me? You forgot about those blocks? I'm laughing, but I know it can happen. Once I discovered a box with about 500 red and white half square triangles in it that I had made and lost track of.
Your Belle Meade quilt is gorgeous! I made 40 hsts yesterday, so am up to about 120.
beauty! and the pup is so cute - he looks happy with it too -
What a wonderful quilt!! Woo-hoo!!
I love Howie too!!
Good for you - it's gorgeous! I love the blue triangles with the scrappy blocks.
What a wonderful quilt and I am so happy for you that things worked out the way they did and you got yours pieced, a real treasure!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog, and I appreciate all who have kept my daughter in their pryaers. When it comes to our children we just want them happy and free from pain!
What a nice surprise and now a wonderful finish! It's a beauty.
That's the way to put a quilt together. It is beautiful.
That is one amazing quilt! What a perfect project for that new machine! Not much of a sew along though, you win, you're done first! What an inspiration it is to see your finished Belle Meade. I've heard from several quilters that they have either started and not finished or have an unopened the kit for Belle Meade. You've shown us all that it's worth the effort. I'm up to 155 hst units, 501 to go!!
Yea....glad you found it and finished it. Its a lovely quilt.
I hope you enjoy your new Janome. I have been sewing on them for years now.
Your Belle Meade is beautiful and DONE!!!! Hope everyone else decides to finish theirs also. We've made 3 versions of this quilt and every one is beautiful. We would love to see the rest as they are finished.
What a beautiful quilt Carol!
You sound a lot like me, why did those blocks get put away. It's a fantastic quilt and done soooo fast....lol
I love that quilt Carol. Nice finish!!
Oh Carol - I love your Bennington Quilt - what a great gift! And, the Fa La La La fabric is perfect. And, this quilt is a beauty too! I think maybe we just get tired of projects and need a break to work on something else -- maybe?? Anyhoo - it's lovely!!!
It is beautiful. I love all of the fabrics.
