It is a kaleidoscope quilt, using some rather bright floral fabric. I know the book (Magic Stack-n-Whack Quilts) was published in 1998, and I think I may have started the quilt around about then, maybe a few years later.
I got as far as putting it all together and even started quilting it. Then, who knows why, I put it in a quilting bag and have not taken it out since.
I found that I had started some rather tight stippling all over the blank parts of the fabric (that may be why I put it away, there was a lot of stippling to do). It is now finished off with much looser stippling.
I also found that the fabric pencil marks I had made were, mostly, still there and was able to use them to do some patterning amongst the stippling.
All that was left to do after that was to put on the binding - which I have now done. Very satisfying.
I even have a good home for it to go to.
I tried to do a random, asymmetrical back, using the fabrics from the front. I rather like that, might try that again - if I ever do a another quilt.
Now I have the quilting bag available too, ready to take bits and pieces to various classes and groups.

Congratulations It looks gorgeous as well. Makes me think I should finish off one of my many blankets
How can they be unfinished? Are they woven? Wouldn't they still be on a loom?
I have remembered that I have two quilt tops from classes in the early 2000s, I may be motivated to find them. But first I have a tapestry to warp up and weave - and I'm not feeling very motivated. But if I don't do it, I won't do anything else either!
