    This is a long-overdue wedding quilt that was intended to be a queen size . . . It's from a book called "Quick Rotary Cutter Quilts" ["Quick"? NOT!] Each 10 1/2" block has 140 pieces, 139 seams and 15 match points in the last 10 1/2" seam. I guess I thought if they called t "quick" it must be "easy" too. Far beyond my ability, but I persevered . . . at least enough to make a good sized wall hanging. (The wedding couple just celebrated their 6th anniversary and had their first baby!) I think I'll encourage them to hang it high on the wall where it can't be inspected too closely :oops: However, given the above stats, I'm fairly pleased with it.

    you did a lovely job! I hope you are proud of your accomplishment...much better to finish it than to leave it forever undone. On a separate note, I gues you don't have an extra 12 blocks hanging around for the yellow and blue swap? hey.....clam down.....I was just kidding! Seriously though great job!

    Just beautiful!

    I too would think quick means easy.

    That's pretty!
    Sure would look wonderful as a quilt, but with all those pieces? Yep, I would have stopped at wallhanging too! lol
