I made this blocks several years back and did not know how to put them together. As I wrote earlier, at some point I wanted to give them away. Then I saw this quilt on the web (see attachedment) and that gave me idea how to piece it together.
It is called NorthWinds from Marsha McClosky book.
It took me about two weeks to piece it and 3 nights for the borders

this is Marshas quilt, above is mine with dark borders

Wow, excellent job. I see in a later post your machine is going in for service and your taking a break. What's wrong with hand sewing or paper piecing? :P J/k When I retired from the Upholstery business 8 yrs ago, it took me ages to want to sew again. Now with Grandbabies galore I sew once again. :)

I like your quilt better than Marsha's! I love that pattern, and your colors are super.
