Thanks for the kind words everyone.

First off, no mail today. There was no mail last Monday either so I kind of think our mail lady is giving herself a couple long weekends.

Alright here's a couple pictures. Olivia helped me. It was windy this afternoon, Olivia took the pictures while I held the quilt against the hedge so it wouldn't blow away.
First side, no borders yet. There are a couple places where the sashing didn't completely line up, maybe 1/2" off, but nothing too bad, I think those will be ok. Overall I'm pleased with how it's looking.


The dogleg on the edge. It's on the top in the first picture. Due to the angle and the way I'm holding the quilt it doesn't show up well there.

It's too big to trim and the sashing is lined up on all the blocks except the last one here where I have this 1" edge sticking out. I've had the quilt apart a couple times on that seam already and I don't think it can take much more of that sort of treatment either.
The best solution I can come up with (actually Carol's idea) is to sew a strip of the border fabric up the side then square everything up before the actual borders go on.

If anyone has a better solution please let me know.
Thanks everyone!
