WMUTeach it turned out lovely I am sure the recipient loved it.
I have been slowly working on mine currently mine will be 5 x 7 blocks. I have 3 rows left to sew together. Was considering going bigger but ran out of the background color was just using what I have up as I have tons of fabric and most my quilts find homes elsewhere. Still thinking if I will add any sort of border or just do like WMUTeach did and not any border.
I have enjoyed this sew along used up some of my 2 1/2" squares.
