Lisa, love your border. That is going to be one amazing quilt.
I have to say I have really slacked off on this quilt. I hadn't touched a block for about six months. Seeing what you all have accomplished, I decided I needed to get back to it and get it finished. I only needed six blocks to complete it. I decided I didn't want a bed sized quilt, so am not doing an outside border. Well, I have completed three blocks this week and hope to finish up the rest this coming week and get this thing done. Thanks everyone for being an inspiration to me and getting me going again. I really do want to finish this quilt.

I still have the bottom row of blocks to finish. I selected the fabric I will use on those blocks and then I packed all of my AOTH in a plastic bin. I actually cleaned off my cutting table and it looks so nice and neat. I'll enjoy it for a day and then I have to start working on my DGGD's quilt for her 1st birthday in May. I also have to make a wedding quilt for my DGD who is getting married in May so, if I am lucky I will finish the quilts with no problem and be able to come back to AOTH. My husband actually asked me the other evening "How many stitches are there in that quilt?" I'd be even more nuts if I had to count the stitches as I did them. It did start me to thinking and I now wonder how many stitches does it take to make an AOTH quilt?

This quilt intimidated me enough just thinking of how small and how many pieces there were. If someone actually had a count on the number of stitches, I don't think I would be here.
I have posted blocks 13, 14 and 15.
