I did not keep track of the hours, it took every evening, about 4 hours each for about 9-1/2 months to complete the blocks and another couple of days of choosing borders, shopping for border and backing fabric and then piecing the sashing and borders. I loved every minute of it. I spent many hours in the quilt shop finding the right border and backing fabric with the wonderful assistance of my LQS ladies.
Thank you for all the wonder feedback on my quilt. I am as excited about it today as I was with my first day working on it.
