Your blocks are great Anne! Isn't it interesting how, when you see them all on the board, you look and say it needs more of this or that? I still have no clue what to sash my blocks with...am thinking to maybe double sash them...surround with white and then another color...maybe!

I love them all Mirabelle--really nice colors. Have you decided on your sashing color yet? Isn't this exciting? We're getting so close!

Yes JanRN I have decided on my sashing, I did post pics a while back. It is a chocolate brown and a cream with small darker swirls. Will try and get some sewn on in the next few weeks. As soon as I finish quilting a monster quilt top for a friend (will post pics when I am finished)
Now back to quilting :x

Oh, boy, everyone's blocks look so great! I am having trouble finding the right sashing. I've auditioned numerous different fabrics but none have made the cut. I'll keep trying, although it looks as if "white" might be the winner. I guess that's what happens with a very limited color palette. In the meantime, here's my blocks in the third segment. Not happy with some of them, but will let it go for now. :-D

Oh Evie--how wonderful! The red and black is so rich. I love it.

Anne, your blocks are wonderful. Remember you have 50 other blocks to blend in, so it probably isn't as bad as you think!

RW--as always I love your blocks.

Gramma: the purple blocks are so wonderful!

Everyone else whose name I can't remember: I love all the blocks posted and I can't wait for summer so I can catch up!

Oh so nice to see all your displays of great work!!!! Isn't it interesting, how the blocks look so much more put together when you get them together. And even better, for those that have added in the sashing/cornerstones at this point. I'm envious ... and enjoying catching up with everyone!So here's my pics for you ... #51-75, as well as the whole bunch on my design wall, #1-75 plus some hopscotch extras, totalling 84 now. I sure wish the weather would have cooperated today, so I could have gone outside for better pics for you to see. And because the sides of the pictures are getting cut off, I've turned them on their sides for a better look ... thus why some of the blocks appear to be upside down or sideways (eg. maple leaf, trees, etc.)Thanks for looking!

Beautiful! I still haven't done my 75 blocks picture. When I took the 50 picture, I took a large piece of material and tacked it up to the side of the garage and then put my blocks on it. I always take my pictures there because it is a large area. It's in the shade all the time. I also try to wait for an overcast day to take pix, because the lighting is even and the colors are much more true to the original.

I have been keeping a "virtual" quilt on my computer. I have been using MS Publisher and putting all my blocks there. It does a nice job and get to enjoy how my quilt is going to look!
