Anyway, I went to Hobby Lobby yesterday. That was tough. All I could think about was mom. We used to go there together and spend hours just looking at everything!!
Anyway, I bought black satin for the borders so I'll get to sewing that on over the weekend. Then I can do the handwork.
I have some vintage lace that my mother in law gave me so I plan to hand-sew that on and then I'll be adding all these little fabric yo-yo's in the corners. I think I made these while dad was in the hospital:
But one step at a time. Once the border fabric is on, I'll have to hand sew more of that trim around the perimeter of the blocks.
So....Methinks I'll actually get it done soon! But the handwork will take me awhile! Wish me luck!

Oh my stars.. this is a labor of love... So beautiful... Cant wait to see the finish!!!!
Definitely a labour of love! I'm sure you'll be very glad to have it completed and on display.
Wow! How long were you working on the crazy quilt? What size is youras? mine is 250x250cm square and took me 3 1/2 years to complete all by hand!
Susan, I started it in 2017. But I had a lot of things going on that put it on hold for quite awhile. It measures 65 in wide X 55 in high. I still have to go to Hobby Lobby and get the backing fabric for it. So I'm almost done.
