Yeah. I finishing piecing the red 3-1/2 in squares for outside. I joined four 9 patches of 9 - 9 patch blocks and still have the outside center units to join. Look what formed from these units. Almost a quilt of its own. Lol

Mine is ready for quilting but working on Park County Fair quilts to enter this year. 3 custom designs that need binding and hanging sleeves yet and I have 2 1/2 weeks. Hoping to get them done

I'm still working on mine too...I'm quilting one right now, and need to finish it to get it off my frame, but have a rheumatology drs. appt. this morning. That's at least a 3 1/2 chunk out of my day, plus I've had my 10 yr-old great-niece for a few days, so I didn't get any quilting or sewing done. She's growing up too fast! Almost forgot (how did I do that?) yesterday, DH needed my help to take down a fence.....again, no sewing or quilting.

Only 11 more blocks to go! This shot had 19 left. I like the way it's turning out but I've realized that the white/cream and the yellows I used don't give enough contrast for me but chalk this up to a lesson learned. Next time, (did I say that?), more contrast.

Janice McC, I had the same learning experience. I didn't have enough contrast between my light blue primary color and medium blue background. I intended in the beginning to use three shades of blue, but ended up changing the dark blue for the secondary color to red/orange/yellow. I'm making it for a wedding present and found out the bride likes bright colors... so all blue didn't seem the right thing to do. In the end, I like the change of the secondary color, but sort of wish I'd used the dark blues for the background instead of the medium blues.
