Many comments about how long it must have taken to sew this quilt. I counted the blocks to see how many pieces of fabric make this quilt. The pattern is 49 x 51 blocks =2499 blocks. Half of those are four patch blocks so that's 1249 x 4 = 4996 patches + the 1250 solid blocks = 6249 pieces of fabric not including border and backing which is also pieced together. So....how many hours do you think it took to sew this, never mind cutting, etc?
