Oh, so fantastic! Each block looks like a Medallion.

These blocks are just gorgeous! I wonder if the top is all done yet? I'd LOVE to see it! I so admire how you left chance to the wind & just went with whatever came out of your various bags. I need to learn to be so spontaneous! The end results are fabulous!

Wow...this is a lot of work and planning.
great job.

OOO! I love the "earthy" feel of the dark value. Great work!

Ninnie - Thanks for your ongoing pictures and instructions. I can't wait until I see your finished quilt. When I saw your jar of dog ears it reminded me of a container of them I had a long time ago. I got tired of cutting them square and tossed them out. If I hadn't been such a nitwit then, I could put them next to my glass bowl full of wooden spools, a jar of old silk threads and another full of threads ravelled from old bobbins.
