That is absolutely stunning, Kalamaquilts!!! It reminds me of a mosaic floor tile, with all those tiny pieces.

I forgot to put up my progress on my barn quilt too!
A few months ago I put a note on the local quilters FB group asking if anyone else wanted to make a barn quilt or porch patch, that I have a big clean garage and we could set up machines and sew while the layers dry.
I had 32 people respond, 'bout scared me to death
So I shared that a local quilt shop will be having classes this summer.
I'm glad I didn't just jump in feet first, I can't believe how many hours I have into this project.
I'm loving it!

It is beautiful, you went more "not Ringo" then I did!!!! lol
Not Ringo, 97" square.
I made all the components everyone else did, but got sidetracked on my working wall
I made a lot of extra 9 patches, and a few extra geese is all.
Have a whole lot of the 5" diagonal bits left.
Now to the fun of completing the recycled shirt top for the other side!
I get up excited to quilt every single day.

I like the last two pictures. It goes to show-- layout is a key to the finished look. You all made lots of tiny pieces, and lots of units. BH uses lots of pieces. Often the quilt tops look like mosaics or Italian tile floors when there are lots of little pieces... :-)

Kalama, that's one of my favorite quilts ever. Just amazing! Very pretty barn quilt, too.
Oh, happy day. I can work on something else tomorrow! I used a few of my original clue 3s in the border, turning them into HSTs. I will have to figure out a way to use the rest on the back.

Lisa, this is just gorgeous! I love your border. It adds a calming accent to the business of the center. I finally finished my top, but I'm not going to put on any extra borders. Enough is enough for me!
