Next I have a special quilt in the works with airplanes as the theme. For my son, who is about to enter Navy flight school. I am working on piecing the top now. Unlike this one, almost every block is different, so it is taking me a while to get it finished and ready to quilt.

So, can you guys see my biggest mistake of the whole thing? The little booklet I started with had this pattern called Monkey Wrench, so that is what I called it. However, when I was putting the blocks together, I switched every other blue set so that the fabric was on the inside of the block on one side, but on the outside of the block on the other side. I had all the blocks finished before I noticed. :x So I left them! I decided it was a "learning" quilt anyway, and I've never been fond of ripping.
