The quilting is done. Its not perfect, but it is finished. I'm thinking of a simple solid cornflower blue for the binding.
132 individual 5 inch blocks. Most of them from the
Sentimental Stitches sight and many still
available for free. I threw in a few extras along the way and then set them in a wonky white diagonal offset squared up to 6.5 inches to make them all the same size and give them some space to rest.
I started them on August 3, 2010 without any intention of begining a huge multi-year project. I blame it on Amy though, she made a block and they just looked so darn cute. I tried to make a block a week though there were seasons of plenty and droughts along the way. I posted the last finished block on December 31, 2012. and had the top sewn together last New Years Day.
The border is a simple row of two inch squares saved from the fabrics for each block.

Wow...... just... WOW! Your quilt looks amazing. I love how the stipple makes the blocks pop from the background. This might be the motivation to get mine sashed.

I think the wonky angle setting changes the block so much. It looks great.
