That quilt that I'm working on is coming along. The design board is quite inadequate for this quilt, which is intended to be about 104" x 104". So the top blocks are folded over. What you see is 2/3 (almost) of the right side of the top 1/3.
I'm quilt pleased with how it's looking. These blocks are not sewed together, just slightly overlapping. I like that the coloured squares are "vari-coloured" and not all just a dark blue print as the pattern had it.
I did a little figuring this morning as I was sewing. Each block takes at least an hour to sew together. That's not counting cutting time and time to sew the strips into 5 strip sets, which are then cut into sections. Each block has 100 little squares. There are 9 large blocks (finished), 24 oblong blocks (6 finished), and 20 small square blocks (cornerstones, 4 finished). This morning I counted up the pieces in this quilt and realized that there are 5,300 pieces. No wonder it seems like it's kind of slow going!!!
