    Thank you. The friendship tree is mine and is hanging in my dining room right now.

    Ah QuiltE, I knew you had a mean streak. Telling everyone my kryptonite. Still no. I don't have the book.

    I should add ... so far, I have not repeated any of the blues.
    The WOW is all the same fabric.

    Absolutely amazing. So many favourites but I think I like Water Lily best. It practically glows.

    Now that I see the appliques in order, I think I recognize one of the fabrics.

    So, in order to not repeat a blue, how many more do you need? I see there are over 200 blocks. And are you really doing each block 4 1/2"?

    Thanks JeanieG ... have a great get-away this week!

    Good Eye W4Me ...
    and thanks to you too!
    Yes, final applique, World Series is THE one!

    169 blocks + 52 triangles + 4 kites = 225

    Only time will tell if I do the whole thing ... or stop at a Baby Jane!
    Yes, each of those little ones, finish at 4-1/2"!!!

    Here's a link to the original quilt from 1863, so you can get a look at what we are emulating.

    Then check out Google Images and see some of the recently made ones, and variations from the original pattern.
