Judy, your quilt is wonderful! I am having so much fun with this group. I am going to make all 50, but only 36 will go in my quilt, as it is scrappy and will need sashing. I don't want it to be as large as 50 blocks + sashing would make it.
I love the look with a single background fabric. I think I would do that if I had it to do over, which I probably will not! LOL
Be sure and post again when it's all quilted and bound!
