I still have an additional border to add that mirrors the outer edge. And then four more borders to frame it all. This has been a real pain. Me and my seam ripper have been to friendly.

It's beautiful!

Just amazing.

Stunning! Waiting for the grand finish!

Wow! Your work is stunning.

Stunning. Are they applique?

very nicely done

Inquiring minds want to know!!!!

Well now you're just showing off!!! Your blocks are just stunning! WOW I'd show off too! I lived in Tucson for 20 years and thought I would never want anything southwestern in my decor again...your quilt may change my mind...

those are beautiful, nice job

That is gorgeous! I can't wait to see more. Your fabric selections are spot on.

wow very nice

Love it. Love the colors.

Very inspiring

Holy cow, that's amazing! Is it needle turned? The pieced sashing really raises the whole quilt to another level.

very nicely done , great job, keep up the beautiful work , its well worth it .

Beautiful blocks, love southwest decor, can't wait to see finished quilt.

Good Golly! Those are the smoothest blocks I've ever seen. Yes, I think they are applique. They are just beautiful and perfectly done.

Nice nice work!

That is really beautiful... those sashings are so fabulous! Do keep showing this great quilt... and yes I want to see it quilted... as I wil not get tired of seeing this beauty!

So cool! So unique! Just love this. Is it your own design?

Stunning! I keep trying to pick a favorite block, but it's impossible. They are all amazing. Thanks for sharing with us.

wow what a lot of work. just love your scallops

Looks like a lot of work but well worth it, the quilt is beautiful. I too am wondering if it is needle turn?

Wow - what an awesome job - I want to know also - is it applique? Looks like alot of work - you did great.

So beautiful!!!!!! Wonderful work!!!!!!

I love this pattern and you've done a WONDERFUL job! I've been looking at this pattern for almost a year... maybe one day! Congrats to you - can't wait to see it finished.

Super. BrendaK

Is this pattern sold at SW Decoratives in Albquerque, NM? Think I saw a similiar one at her shop.

Impeccable and drop-dead, show-stopping gorgeous. Wow!!!!

Striking patterns... reminds me of the "Land of Enchantment"... New Mexico USA... Will watch for photos with borders

This is amazing! You are doing a fabulous job!!

Thanks for all the lovely compliments! Yes, this is appliqued by machine. And yes, I bought this from http:southwestdecoratives.com. I'm currently working on the mirror borders and then I will get the other borders that frame the quilt. Also, I'm doing trapunto and it will be a challenge to complete this as it is getting very heavy to feed through the machine; my arms are getting a work out.

Call me IMPRESSED! Love the designs, are they your own?

very pretty !!!!

beautiful and unique

When you have a few minutes - would you mind showing us a couple of closeups of a couple of the blocks showing your machine applique please? Did you do raw edge or turned? I know the pattern says to use your favorite method... but it's always good to actually 'see' the options :)

Thanks!

Amazing! Can't wait to see it quilted!!
