Fussy cut top left, very blue block with blue background in the center, and lower left brown/blue star.

Is this my guess, or my favorites? :-p

Upper right is nice, the fussy cut flag is nice, and the double pinks are nice. How to choose??!

You found one of them... 33 1/3% correct! I think you picked your favorites. :D

Why ever did we do plaidsys, when you have such lovely CW prints? lol

sewbizgirl 12-17-2017 09:37 PM

I love the shirt plaids, too!

Why? I have a ton of CW fabrics already. And my quilt is done.

Very pretty, Sewbizgirl!

I have the blocks and the 16 patches completed so I need to look up the next step.

Mine is out for quillting at a LA, then I will have to bind it. Getting close.....

Annaquilts 04-11-2018 04:13 PM

Stunning! I like both the piecing and the quilting.

SBG, It's a beauty!

Really beautiful! Love the colors and the restful, peaceful feeling I get from looking at your block. Thanks for sharing.

Finally got mine done:

Jane: Congratulations on finishing it! It is gorgeous.

I have been working most of the day today trying to finish the top. I had all of the blocks made last year and finally added sashing this week. Today I finished the main part and started working on the corner and setting triangles for the border blocks. Hopefully I will have the top done tomorrow.

sewbizgirl 06-30-2018 07:09 PM

That turned out gorgeous, Jane!! What a treat to see it!

Jane Quilter 06-30-2018 07:58 PM

keep at it teacher! I had the most trouble with the boarder. But it was well worth the trouble.

retiredteacher09 07-01-2018 05:28 PM

Jane: Thanks for cheering me on! The setting triangles for the border blocks were driving me crazy! I have the second side almost done and I will be using the border blocks for the top and bottom, I think, but they will be straight across with sashing in between. Extra side borders may be needed to fit the sizes my church group likes. I do have the 1" red border cut and am sewing the pieces together as I am using a bunch of small pieces.

sewbizgirl 07-01-2018 08:11 PM

We are all waiting to see it, Connie! :thumbup:

My finished top! I think it took me longer to do the setting triangles than it did all of the squares put together. :)

Thanks JaneQuilter and Sewbizgirl for the encouragement.

How beautiful, Jane Quilter! And what a charming back. Congratulations on a wonderful finish!

Way to go, Connie! That turned out great.

sewbizgirl 07-04-2018 11:03 PM

It looks wonderful, Connie! Congrats on reaching that milestone.
