thanks for all the lovely comments. It took me 13 months to complete this quilt - it is all done by hand and I am hand quilting also - that will probably take another 13 months
. I tried to keep track of the time I spend and I have over 700 hours in it so far. Most of the fabrics were selected from my stash except I had to pick up some yellow and orange since I didn't seem to have much on hand. I have since discovered I love orange. I did lay out the colors on a piece of graft paper - just blocked off a 13 X 13 grid and started coloring in, the border triangles were just placed at random.
