Hopefully you can make it bigger to see the colors better!
I did add a final 2" (finished) border in navy blue, just to make it a better size for our bed and to frame it.

My Indigo Way is still a flimsy as I'm having difficulty choosing the backing.

Iceblossom, thank you for all the time and effort you have invested into monitoring this thread, for the on-going encouragement to everyone and for sharing your quilting skills and knowledge. It has been wonderful to connect with other quilters and to see their creations.

Two rounds of awesome applause for you, Blacktabby. One for getting the picture to insert -- and yes, if you double mouse click it opens up larger. One round for the color selections! What a change just the Red to Orange is and I think the browns look great instead of the light blue!! I think the additional border for framing/sizing was a good idea -- plus sealing al those seams on the edge, it will probably help with putting the binding on too.

And a round for Sync.for making the project work in your timeline. For me, I do like the prod of weekly clues and the mystery aspect but real life (and other projects) happen and there are definite advantages to making it after the problems have been found and the results are known.

Blacktabby57 - your quilt is beautiful. Nice finish.

I've had to put my quilt aside for now. Between traveling for work and finding out I'm going to be a first time NaNa, I'm putting my energy into sewing for this little one when I am home. There have been many complications already with this pregnancy, so we are praying for the best possible outcome. Baby is in the 2 percentile. Trusting God as we prepare for this delivery next month.

Thanks everyone for your compliments!
and extra thanks to Iceblossom, who suggested using browns! I’m so happy with the colors of this one, and probably wouldn’t have thought of using brown!

Had a nice chat with my friend Barb in Arizona yesterday, she's been mostly lurking in this thread and found she enjoyed the process. She "admitted" that she got her blocks done but hadn't put them together yet. Yay for getting the blocks done! But as I reassured her, she is very likely to get the top done when she is ready for that. Having available space to layout is a real issue and it can be hard to find in a full house full of doggy feet. She got a long arm this year and is working on other things. There are a lot of Bonnie Hunter UFOs out there for all sorts of reasons.

For people in earlier stages of block construction, it is amazing how things can get separated out or how confused we can get with counts or instructions. At this point if the project is not active, I'd go ahead and spend some time to store it. You can put subunits in baggies and either write on the bag with a marker (not all markers are good on plastic), or with paper notes on what stage and how many you have to do. I put all my bags or however I store things in a box along with directions and notes to myself -- because, no, I can't just look at a project six months later and remember what I was doing. If you misplace your clues, we can probably help on that too.

Hope everyone is well and happy

PS -- No, my top is not quilted down yet...

I wish I had made notes when I put aside my Frolic quilt. That's going to be a bear to try and figure out when I eventually get to it.

I am still working on my A blocks, and getting there. I have one done in the fifth row. I'm eager to get to my B blocks and see how it looks! My B reds are a bit brighter than my single A red. My B block light blues are very pale.
