Default Country Roads

Yesterday was my birthday and I gave myself a wonderful present -- I finished this postage stamp variation that I've had in the works for a while. The formal pattern name is Country Path by Kaye England, but I named it Country Roads after the John Denver song that my husband and I loved to harmonize to on long road trips. It is 102 inches square.

The quilt is made up of 3 different blocks but to make sewing the blocks together easier, I made "megablocks" using a Triple 9-Patch block, 2 of the long rectangular blocks, and a rounded-off 81-patch square. The quilt body took 5x5 megablocks, with a half row of blocks along one side and one end to make it symmetrical.
