I can't wait to see your progression and other fabrics!

Two down and 28 more to go. I am also showing you the pattern to give you an idea of how they all go together.

I missed this thread. The quilt is really coming out beautiful. I see you are putting some of the fabrics the Fabric Angel sent you and they look lovely. Quite a daunting quilt, looks hard to do. :shock:
What I want to know is where are you finding the time... Between painting the house, moving furniture in the gym, putting crystals on your wedding dress..... I don't know girl, don't do too much or you will be too tired for your wedding.
I love this quilt!! Keep up the great work and keep the pictures coming :thumbup: :D

I should have known.....when I saw your fans they reminded me of her New York Beauty PP.
Thanks for letting me know, and her website is quiltworx.com Now I hope I spelled it right, it is phonetically spelled.

I am getting braver though last time I cut out 4 fans, just not got round to putting them together yet.
Good luck, lets see what you do Elle
Good luck

Thanks for such a speedy reply. Ive had a look at the site and I think that I will order it when Im in the US and then bring it back to theUK when we come back. There are one or two others that I like too. So many quilts, so little time! I need to retire! :)

Hey I am retired and still do not have enough time. Probably because my DH and I are retired together. He could take up most of my day if I let him; LOL. :-)

Here is an update on this quilt. As you can see I have done a lot and I am pleased with it. Now doing the border, which has 32 blocks, so far have done the most complex which were the corner units.
