This little ditty was begun about 7 years ago. It was assembled, pinned and quilted about one-fourth of the way. Then I got scared and took it apart down to the quilt top. Whereupon I replaced a few blocks.
Once again, I assembled and pinned it, but took another look and worried some more. So I took it all apart. And replaced more blocks.
You can see where some of the quilting lines are drawn in.
Why all the work? Some of you may remember a Springmaid brand black that literally disintegrated in the wash. I owned some, but was not sure which was used where in the quilt. So I removed any questionable black. Finally, I think it's ready to be finished. Let's hope those marking lines come out.
On a side note, thanks to all of you who left messages regarding my dearest pal. As always, your kind thoughts and words were most appreciated.
Until then, keep stitchin' . . .

That is stunning! Your work is always so lovely!
there's definitely a black and red quilt in my future... I love those colors together... beautiful...
I remember that fabric...it was around the time that so many blacks turned a dark sort of mottled purple after washing too. (I have several of those....)
Beautiful quilt!
Your quilt looks fabulous hanging on the line! It is stunning!
I never heard about disintigrating fabric: how awful. The quilt is beautiful, I hope all is well with it.
Awesome quilt! My son would just adore something like that (dare not let him see or he'll be asking me for one!).
Absolutely stunning quilt, and beautiful photos.
This looks stunning, let’s hope all the disintegrating fabric is gone.
