    I'm working on a lightening Block quilt for a friend and a Jacob's ladder block for another quilt. Both are 1/2 done. I'll post pic as I progress.

    45 or 50 blocks? Let's figure 48, which is 6 blocks by 8 blocks. If they are 12" finished, with no sashing, you'll have a quilt 72" BY 96". Add borders, and YES, that is a reasonable sized quilt!!! But I like to set off sampler blocks with a unifying sashing, so maybe I'll end up with another monster...did someone whisper UFO?

    Quilting Cat...your math skills show through...please post photos for us to see your progress.

    Checking in on my progress --- I finished the rectangle cornerstones, have half of the leaf rectangles completed...this has been fun learning to construct these units. I plan to use a medium grey for the sashing strips. The designer is Mary J. Burns and it is called Shakespeare's Leaves

    Judy, I like the leaf layout.

    I have completed my 3 quilt tops I was working on. My orange and tourquise has come back from the quilter's. She did a outstanding job. I just need to complete the binding and I will post pics. I exchange and gave her my two other quilts. Jacob ladder in Kansas Trouble fabric and ______ lightening block in blue and pink and white fabric. I'm looking forward to all projects being done. All projects will go out to three different friends. So close.

    Now I'm going to start on a doll quilt for my sister and work on Sue

    You are doing a great job of finishing up things! I have several things almost done - but I am so bad at posting pictures. Keep up the good work!

    Great quilt. I have always liked tans and navy and the splash of red. I had not check this link for a while. My Shakespears Leaves top is ready to be sandwiches. I was going along quite well and on Aug 20th it was 115 degrees here in Phoenix and I found my self in the hospital with pneumonia. I am having a slow recovery and my sister and brother-in- laws anniversary quilt will not be finished by September 20. . My target is Before Halloween, have to see how thing progress
