Echoemb, Your quilt is beautiful. I will also do another one with Bonnie. It was alot of work but well worth it when we get to see all our colors blend so nicely together.
Emma S , Thank you. Please post yours when you can

Echo, I LOVE the yellow, great quilt.
I worked on mine for a bit today, adding wings and cutting some squares for the Ohio stars. Can't wait for Friday, I am off all day and planning on quilting and more quilting, woo hoo.

After some more work and slowing down, reworking, unsewing, ect....I have figured out the problem. Me!!!
lol.
I just "thought" I was making quarter inch seams. Now that I finally am...well things are coming together.
Still having some problems with the points, but even those are improving.
I've learned A LOT with this quilt!

Nothing is lining up for me. I am really REALLY trying to do quarter inch seams. The points are being cut off....some of my blocks (particularly pt 7) isn't measuring right.
I'm to the point of frustration with it

. I'm not sure if they have figured out where the problem lies. Do you belong to that group? Maybe they will have some answers for you.

Some people have posted pics of their finished tops. My favorite is the one by "Nettie in PA". It is stunning!

I love how everyones color combinations are looking. I am hoping to get to work on this next week as I am out of time until this weekend.
I know this is off subject but has anyone looked at the mystery BOM from sentimental stitches and dear Jane called just takes 2? I am planning on doing this one and am talking to a few others on here about doing a quilt along together like this one and thought maybe I would let u guys know about it too.
