Well done Mirabelle. I like how you blocks appear to be floating.

Well done Mirabele!! With the addition of the sashing and the corner stones your blocks float! The borders are great as well!

Love it, Mirab! That background fabric and matching border fabric are a nice finishing touch. I agree that these blocks were a lot of fun and have been searching the internet for something similar.

That border fabric is just stunning Mirabelle! I love how you put your quilt together. I am so far behind on these blocks, I don't know if I will ever be finished!

Thank you everyone. I have started the FMQ, 3 blocks down and 9 to go so hope to have it finished in the next week or so. Slow going with all those seams, I found it quicker to free motion the ditch work, then I don't have to turn the quilt top.
Will post a pic when it is completely finished.

I am back in the saddle again, with the optic nerve decreasing in its swollen state, and hoping that action continues...at least I am not blind...yet.

I did take the Quilt Bus Tour and seen Quilting on the Square Quilt Shop. Mary, the one who designed the SYEs, said it would be retired from their site in Mid May...so if you lack any of the patterns, please download and save for when you might what to finish. And sign up for their newsletter which is starting the beginning of paper piecing pieces then. Mary was 'twisting' best friend's arm to start the simple pp with them then...and showing her their blocks and patterns that they would use. "But," said my bf, "that's pp!", "yes," said Mary, "that's what we do here!" Bf is a hand quilter and her expression was priceless. LOL. The trip was two days, four states, and wonderful FART with lots of laughter.
