    There are 45 blocks across and 48 down. So that's 2,160 blocks. He has made several with over 2500 blocks in them. They are the King Size ones. He was making them all King size and I told him he needed to make a variety of sizes. So, he is. there are some duplicate blocks. They are just scattered out to where it's not noticeable. He has made some a solid and a print and some that was a print and white. He is doing them several different ways.

    I told him I posted his picture with his quilt top. I read the first two or three responses to him when he was in here. He especially liked the ones that talked about togetherness. I thought he was going to choke up when I read them to him.

    Wish my husband would get interested! Send address and I will have a bobbin in the mail tomorrow. I love this kind of quilt! I'm not a fancy quilter.
