Thank you!

My fabrics were mostly from my stash and I even had enough for the backing in my stash! Came close on the border/sashings/bindings, though short enough that I opted to purchase it all. Likewise the cornerstones and setting triangles were all newly purchased and only decided on when I had the blocks finished. I kept the blocks on my design wall as I made them and had endless help from the other FWS Ladies in what colours were missing, that I needed to get more into the mix. It really was a group effort!! Bless each of these Ladies for their help!!!

As for time ... a year ... but a lot of other sewing and life happened in the meantime!
So I really have no idea as to how many hours are in the quilt.
