Thanks Nammie to 7. Kasey is easily impressed. :-)

Thanks! :-)

That is an absolutely beautiful quilt and I also love the back. Love those colors.

Thank you! :-)

Thank you; I appreciate the observation. I loved every part of making this even though it was way beyond my comfort zone. I learned so much while doing it. That is really the best part.

Thanks Leslie. QAYG makes the backing a design element all its own. I really love having two quilts in one.

Thanks BrendaK. :-)

Thanks Lori. I have to say, Kasey is pretty easy to please. :-)

Thanks kindleaddict63! :-)

Thanks Mary. You are correct. The quilt-as-you-go technique makes the free-motion quilting so much easier than having to manipulate an entire quilt. Being able to turn the blocks when needed is such a plus. I can't imagine how difficult it is to try to move a whole quilt in such a small space. I am going to try it some day though. The only really tedious part of doing it this way is hand stitching the binding on each and every block on the back. One day I may try to do the binding strips by machine, but I wasn't ready for that step quite yet.
