Default Scrappy Celtic Solstice top finished!

I have been all consumed making this quilt top since Bonnie Hunter released the first clue on Thanksgiving! I set myself a goal of having each clue finished before the next was released which was tough over Christmas but I did it! I used all fabrics from stash (apart from the final turquoise borders as I didn't have enough left) It's 93" square, has approximately 3200 pieces and over 125 different fabrics and I have to say I am rather proud of it!

Thanks helou, it was a LOT of work - especially all the cutting out as no piece is was bigger than 3" to start with! I cut a little, stitched and trimmed a few at a time so you could actually see some progress at each session!

Oh Wow! Such praise, thank you! it was a mystery so I had no way of knowing what would be the dominant colours, so it was luck more than ability!
