I brought all the blocks into my quilting group on Monday and they all oohed and aahed. I told the the stories of each one too. They were amazed on how all the blocks went together so well. I let them know that all 19 were a perfect 12.5" ! I only have a handful of scraps leftover from all the fabric!!
I had already cut my sashing and had the back done so it was easy enough to put it together. It got bigger than I expected - but that is ok. This one will go to the LA so she can have it done before we leave at end of month. It came out so great - thank you.
