as promised, here is the last and final block. It has been a long time getting here. Of course being told to sit with my feet up doing nothing for 6 weeks didn't help any. And that was before I had the first set of blocks done.

I want to know which one is everyones favorite block. I have mine picked out.

I have to clean off my cutting table to lay it out tomorrow, I am hoping to have it put together soon. And then of course i will post a picture of the top and then hopefully the finished quilt. We will see how fast I can get it on the table,

I think i like all the block's as colorful as they are and the theme i keep seeing throughout the fabrics of each one, can't wait to see them all sewn together.

Your block looks fabulous, and I love your fabric choices, but pieces too tiny for me to work on. I would give up after one block.

you are a courageous woman!

They are a 7" square, I was in a strange mood when I was picking fabric so who knows what it will all look like when I am done.

There is a quarter in the pictures to show how small we are talking about.

I like the first square but why so small?? Now I know why you steamed your fingers.
Quick tip on minor burns, go to health food store or anywhere that sells essential oils and buy pure lavender oil. It takes the pain right out of a burn and it will not burn for the rest of the day. Besides it smells good, just don't get it on the fabric.
