Oldest UFO

It's time to move this quilt along a bit:
"Red Delicious" was Esther Aliu's first BOM design. If I had known it would be all appliqué I probably wouldn't have joined in, as at that time I hadn't done any appliqué. My stitching is rather inexpert, but it probably got better as the months went by.

You can see I wasn't particularly interested in making a quilt all in red and white, so mine became "Berry Delicious". It has been a top since July 2010. I assembled a back for it in September 2010. 
Now it is basted and ready to quilt.

Wow there are some seriously tricky bits in this quilt, you sure did tackle a hard quilt for a beginner! Very impressed you got the top together and sure you will have fun with the quilting.
