This is a stunner! Your work is beautiful. To be able to get so many blocks with so many pieces to fit together is fantastic. I'll bet the pieces are really small, too!

Great Job like it

Thank you all so very much for your kind replies.
glassbird -I see you found the book - yes, it is by Jennifer Chiaverini - (writer of The Elm Creek fiction books )
Sewlittletime - I run a Dear Jane group here in the UK and would be happy to help with anything. One great blog is -- thatquilt.bogspot where Anina has done a tutorial on EVERY block and triangle. Scroll down and you will see a list in green ink of every row and block - click on the one you want to do. Also further down the page - there are dates ( also in green ink ) Click on 2011 and go down to January and she gives a lot of joining instructions, which are so helpful. I have no affiliation to Anina - I am just grateful to her ! Also, look at dearjane.com - loads of info and tips there.
I would recommend the DJ rulers - especially for the triangles.
orangeroom - the quilt is 78" square at the moment, but I want to add borders to it.
SewingSew - most of the blocks were paper pieced ( as I love that method ) with some hand sewing as a little applique and the "Y" seams.
BrendaK - Most of the blocks are PP and they are 6 inches.
Beehiveof9 - I would fully recommend making this quilt from the Loyal Union Sampler book ( and Sylvia's Bridal Sampler ) both by J. Chiaverini ( No affiliation to her ) I have learnt a lot on the journey.

Thank you all again for your very kind comments - you have all made my day !

Your quilt is a knockout. Just love it. I've not seen this quilt before. Your work is fabulous. I've followed your work on DJ....that, too was mighty impressive Still working on mine...

I think your quilt is a real work of art! There are so many blocks that are interesting all by themselves; but when combined into your quilt create so much interest. I can appreciate your desire to do some small things-at least for a while. I hope you will post again after you have it quilted.

That is beautiful!, I have made the Farmers Wife a couple years back and used brick red and yellow gold scraps for mine and love. Your treatment of contrasting pale, copper, and browns is just stunning--Just love it. Thank you for sharing.

beautiful!!! and in traditional looking tones of brown. congratulations! i decided several years ago on small & smaller. but recently am thinking ...large and not worry about the quilting until i need a gift . also unquilted tops are easier to store in my diminutive home than quilted quilts.
