It's all cut up and almost all sewn back together - but I did add the extra triangles to make it a stack & whack -- if I had know that was what I was going to do anyway I would have cut 8 and made the pinwheels - oh well :) I'm staring at it on my wall right now trying to decide if I'm ready to sew the rows together, or if it needs more rearranging...

Thanks! looks great .... did you do the check strip down the side first? or jumped right in and committed for the whole thing?

Now the fun of deciding whether to leave them where they are or move them around! :)

.......... hey, where did your picture go? It was there when I put this message up ... and now poof! ..... and now you've got it back up (in focus) ... I'll leave all this, so those that follow can make some sense of the comments!

I took one that was actually in focus :)

I did one strip and decided I liked it - and when I had all the pieces sewn together in just a couple days I really liked it ;) then knowing hubby doesn't care for obw I showed him what it would look like with the black - and finished adding all of them this morning. 56 blocks later and once I add borders it's going to be king sized!!


.... and now I'm glad I took a new picture since my son just came running past with his 160lb hairball behind him

Yea for you! You did it .... large size and all!!!
Worked up fast, with it being so large.

Hope you kept some of the virgin fabric, so you can include it as a reference piece in the finished quilt? I always think this is a good thing to do.

Well done ... and look forward to seeing it finished up.

Have fun putting them all back together thanks to your DS!!!
