I give all of you who are doing or have done this Celtic solstice quilt!! I personally love scrappy quilts but the kind that are a little more " free"! The controlled scrappy that this is made of, I think, would drive me berserk.......too much sorting, deciding, whatever.....

If I am going to do something that intense I need all the parts to be the identical fabric... So gold stars to all of you!

Thanks Emma. I am not a "blue" person so do not have a lot of it in my stash. But I do have a lot of purples and browns. And that is what I used. The orange, yellow and reds brightened it up a lot. I am very pleased with the outcome. BTW, the last purple border fabric was from a 100% cotton sheet I found at GW for a backing. It was perfect for the final border to give me size I needed without making more blocks for the large size.

good thing the saying 'cut a few, assemble a few', then 'cut a few, assemble a few later' kept running thru my mind. I started assembling a few, and realized I had sewn my 'chevrons with the yellows touching' on the last bunch I sewed together. NOOOO, the whites are suppose to touch!!!!!! easy rip out.

Caroline, your scrappy CS turned out wonderful. I have only made two blocks for mine but for now it is on the back burner. I have saved as many of the pictures of everyone's as I can though so when I do start mine, I will have some comparisons to look at for border ideas and if and when I get discouraged. Kudos to all of you who have finished yours. I will join your group in a year or two! LOL!
