Beautiful quilt! I've always loved the Tumbling Blocks pattern. It really suits itself to scraps, doesn't it? And just look at the borders! Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing Karenmay! I enjoyed your other pictures as well.

That border is indeed amazing.
I would probably never have combined GFG in a border with Tumbling Blocks but there you see the stunning results. Can you imagine how tiny the GFG hexs must be?

Thank you so much for sharing!

Amazing quilt. Combining two patterns like that is amazing and to think it was probably all done by hand. WOW.

Thanks for sharing your pictures.

Some of our Group are hoping to go to Barcelona in March, so hopefully will be able to share some good stuff with you all.
