Yea, Macybaby!!! Cannot believe how fast you did this. That 365 challenge taught you some useful techniques in efficiency. Plus your super efficient anyway so double plus for you!! Looking forward to your assembly. I ended up doing one re-do because I didn't like it and was tired of ripping out threads so it was easier to start over. Lol! It's gorgeous weather here so I've worked outside a bit today and did a some more packing for our month long trip. But, I did do one block first thing this morning that I cut out last night. Lol! Whatever works. I have decided to do an applique border for this quilt. I figure I'm spending a lot of time of this baby so why not finish it with a flourish!

Donna....welcome back and hope your weekend was lovely. You are off to a great start. Your blocks look wonderful and fabric choices great. That's probably half the fun when doing the scrappy way, picking out the fabrics. I still enjoy creating from my small pile of specific colors & accent fabric. I will probably be so sick of this fabric when done. So far, I still like it.

Anael...I absolutely love appliqué and a lot of it has to do with the method and machine appliquing. Amazon has a starter kit that includes stabilizer, marking pencils, and tools. Not sure if you can buy Amazon from Netherlands. My friend bought hers at a quilt show so there is another option.

Thanks for for the lovely comments. I should reach the halfway point this week barring any interruptions. I've been staying on top of the excel design layout so I'll post a pic of it
