Robbing Peter to Pay Paul through the years

Hello there!  I have been going to start a blog for several years and something always gets in the way so here goes......I struggled with which quilt to post for my first ever post to my new blog and chose this one.  The color here isn't real great.  This quilt is actually wine colored and cream. The pattern is Robbing Peter to Pay Paul.   I hand pieced this queen quilt at least 25 years ago and it sat in a box and on a shelf patiently waiting to be quilted while I worked on other projects over the years.  Finally it's time came to be fitted into the frame that my mom had loaned to me.  This is the second quilt I've quilted on this frame but really prefer to use a big hoop, so now it's back out of the frame and being quilted with a hoop.  Except it's on hold again for a few weeks while I quilt a smaller quilt for my son in law.  When that one is done sometime next month I'll go back to this one.  This is the year when this quilt finds itself on a bed!
