I'm with you Meredith...I'm enjoying the last part of the quilt and I'm giggling at some of the early blocks that I did. Man....we have all sure learned a lot working on this baby. I humbly say that I'm a MUCH better piecer now than when I started it. I decided to go ahead and quilt some of the early ones just to see how they look. It has improved some of them ALOT. So..when I get them all quilted, I will lay them out and rearrange any that I need to. I've noticed a couple that are close together that somehow ended up being fabrics that are very close in color/pattern or tone. They will have to find new homes. I don't think there are many...but a few. Then I'll sew the sashing/cornerstones on. I'm so excited about it!
I still have to find a quilting pattern for the between tris also. Meredith..I'd love to do mine on a LA...but it isn't in the cards..so maybe next time?? Jan, I agree...those weeks were almost boring..can you believe we say that?? LOL!!

Oh, I won't do just straight lines or diagonals I don't think. I have some quilting software with lots of patterns on it. Actually..I bought it awhile ago and I'm ashamed to say that I haven't even loaded it! So..I'm thinking that there may be a nice skinny swirly looking thing or something...I don't know..we'll see.

Hmmmm.....ozecb...you have a really great point there! I hadn't even thought of that. Could there really have been an entire group of people who were insane enough to make this size of complicated blocks? :shock: Gives us something to think about huh?

I love to think of the great spirit of community that existed during those terribly difficult times and that maybe it was a gift to Jane. To me it also looks as if her name has been added in - maybe it was a gift, maybe she found and put her name on it. Who knows? 'tis truly a challenge, bet there's a family journal somewhere that speaks of this quilt. Caro

I am going to start sewing on the sashings and cornerstones to the blocks, but I am in no rush to finish, as I feel I am way ahead of the schedule!

Anxious to see your top when it's all together.
Congratulations!

I'll put together a couple pix of blocks with my fave fabrics. In the end, they're saving me money, too. I've never bought a fat eighth in my life and I have no stash. I tend to buy 3 or six yards at a time and yet I have no stash!?! How does that happen? :0)
