Waaaay back in 2021 (Sept, to be exact), I started an EPP project, Forget Me Not by Sue Daly.  Sue started this project as a BOM in August 2015, directions for which were posted on Sue Daly's blog.   Those direction are STILL publicly available.  (https://www.suedaleyblog.com/forget-me-not-sew-along/)

The BOM was long finished by the time I found it but since all the directions were still online, I was able to (eventually) complete the project.  I am now VERY HAPPY to say that as of February 2023, I have FINISHED the top.  woo hoo!

I did change up Sue's project by adding borders onto mine so that it was larger.  I added a paper-pieced diamond border and an outer slab-o-border onto which I appliqued vines, flowers and hearts.  My project is 82" square.     

To clarify matters, Sue Daly's project is *just* the interior English Paper Pieced medallion.  I added on the borders.

I am so happy to finally get this one done.  It's been in the final stages of being completed for a very long time.

That is just amazing! Love the addition of the applique border

latest I spy.  I knew I couldn't work on this one at the retreat so it was a good one to keep me busy.  Putting it together without turning the pieces wrong was a challenge.  I used a flannel covered foam board to carry small sections to my machine to stitch.  And I still turned a couple of triangles wrong and had to restitch.  I'm going to wait to quilt it & look at it again in a few weeks to make sure I didn't miss any others.   I asked my husband to help but he said it made his eyes hurt to even look at it - haha.

That is a fantastic and very unusual layout for an I-Spy!  Love the colors!

The center of this quilt is beautiful but you have certainly enhanced that beauty.  Congrats on a finished UFO top.

I'm looking at the left edge, not sure if there is a problem or not because I can't see the pattern.  The other edges are all the same for their 1/4 of the quilt but the second from the to and bottom are different.  I love the pattern.  It's a lot of HSTs!
