Sidetracked to UFO

I posted my sidetracked project a couple of weeks ago.  After I finished the top, I went out to get a tutorial in spray basting.  I am quite taken with the ease of spray basting over pinning.  As a result, I've decided to finish up a couple of projects and then spray baste two to three projects in a single setting.

I started this project a couple of years ago using leftover fabric for a friend's daughter.  I've made all her children and grandchildren quilts (the yarn tied off type).  One daughter really wants a second quilt ... 28 years later, the first is long gone.  For a variety of reasons, I decided to make her one more.


This one will be backed in an old purple sheet pretty much by request.  I haven't decided if I'll tie this one or machine quilt.  If I machine quilt it will have to be wide, as she remembers the softness and drape of the original quilt.  The flannel backed ones I made for her nieces and her children are not the same!
