OLD (very old) UFO completed

I acquired the plaid flannel orphan blocks in the late '70s or early '80s, during thrift store outings with my Memaw. It's not at all clear, actually, whether I bought them myself or inherited them from her. All handsewn, and VERY VERY wonky.

I bought the camel and blue flannel to border the blocks and get them to square a few years ago, finally finished the top late last year (process photos here), and got the quilting done over this last MLK weekend. Finished binding late last night, and now I have a very soft quilt to snuggle under.

I just quilted straight diagonal lines - detail below. I used a blue variegated Aurifil; I was a little concerned it would be too heavy but it worked absolutely perfectly.

 

I almost finished off a spool of plain blue Coats & Clarks I used for the bobbin and sewing down the binding.

Finished size is 60 x 72, and my yardage estimate is 7.5 yards busted. (All from "this year's" stash, although I bought wide backing late last year for finishing.)
