Wow! That is gorgeous!!!!! Love the fabrics!!! How big is the block? How big will the finished quilt be? Looks big.

Thank you everyone. :) The block is 16.5 inches and it's a queen size quilt. DH just shakes his head when he sees the two tables full of half square triangles, I'm sure he thinks I'm baked! LOL

That is beautiful Shadow, and you're very very brave doing all these triangles!!! Very nice :) :)

That is so pretty - apart from the cutting, pressing all the seams, and directions, must be mindblowing. It will be a lovely quilt

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to roast her!! When she said DH thinks she's baked, I had to throw in the half cause of all the half square triangles she's making!!
