Here's the 50th birthday quilt for dil's mom. Seems like I've been working on it forever. It has over 1000 pieces in it. Thank goodness for strip piecing! I was wondering...before I send it to her, should I have quilted in the blue border?

Can't wait to see it!! Tappping toe in anticipation.... :D

Got the pic on and edited my first post.

WOW!! That is a beauty. Looks hard. Love the colors. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

Love the colors and the way it moves. What is the name of the pattern?

Beautiful!
Over 1000 pieces! Wow! Now, be sure to not mention the strip piecing bit. Let them think you cut out each individual piece of fabric. :lol:
I'm sure that quilts going to be much loved!

Beautiful,,,,,My favorite colors. Lucky reciever.

It's one I saw on Fons and Porter. The block didn't have a specific name, but the show was coordinating light, medium, and dark fabrics. I liked it because it looked like a lattice and my two main fabrics were florals. There are ten different strip pieces for the ten different rows in the block. Each piece is 2 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, except 5 of the rows begin and end with a half-piece to get the diagonals going.

Gorgeous! What a beauty! I love it!

WOW!!! What is that pattern called?? That is gorgeous. Congrats on an awesome job. :D Ooopss--never mind--I see that's answered above. :lol:
