I have a quilt that I started in 2003 with my then-roommates. It is still unfinished, mostly because the only thing I know how to do (or did a month ago) was piece the top. When I started a second quilting project, my summer found it's name.
My friend Laura started a "Quilting Club" enrichment class and taught me to make this beautiful object:
Take note: there are some very exciting "unique features" (maybe Kim is the only one to remember that inside joke). For example, I did the machine quilting myself!!! It seemed so daunting, but it really wasn't too bad. :)
Also, the corners are mitered, which was that bad, but I did it nonetheless. Bravo, me!
Overall, it's pretty much amazing, and so am I.
So now I am finishing my big quilting project that has been sitting for so long. It's been pretty adventurous to figure it out, but it's fun at the same time. Watch out, soon I'll be on to the next one!

Yay, Bethany! You did great! What a great enrichment group to have and what a cute project!
Bethany, Lilon says you encourage her to finish her several quilting projects. Some she started back in High School. Also, she empathizes with the difficulty of mitering.
