The blocks are together!


I have a hard time picking a project up after it's been sitting for a while and this is the first block of the (fill in any time period) I've ever done.  There were months I had to force myself to do the next block and I quite often printed the patterns and then waited till I was between other projects.  I've made I don't know how many quilts (I've been quilting for close to 40 years so that happens) but I finish one before I'm on to the next.  Some of us are just like that!  The floor is the only place any where near big enough to spread this out so you get to see a lot of the other things that live there.  Thank my dog.

Now it's on to the borders.  I have one side of the vine sewn on one of them, the leaves prepped for three of them, about half the cherries I need for all four of them, and I bought two 10' boards to use when I baste them.  I think I'm set!

  4. Your blocks look wonderful together, and your version is my favorite so far! Can't wait to see it with the border on. Are you going to hand quilt it?

  8. Oh, my!! It's just spectacular. You are so smart to 'work ahead' to keep up the momentum towards finishing the borders. You'll have them done before you know it. I really admire your organization and drive to the finish.
