It's coming together....


I've got the blocks sewn into rows.  It's big, so you are only getting an idea of what it will look like finished (what I could fit into the camera frame!). 

I need to make another row of blocks though.  For some reason, the layout calls for 9 rows of 10 blocks.  That's just weird...you can't use an even number of rows or columns when you have a two block design.  So, I've decided to have 11 rows of 9 blocks.  Finished without borders, that works out to 81" x 99".

Yes!  Another repurposed shirt project!  This time I controlled the scrappiness to blues and browns. I like it a lot.  I hope to have this top done before the end of the weekend.

And then what?  Well...I suppose I should get back to my Black & White quilt. Since I picked up all those great fabrics at the St. Mary's quilt show, I have a nice selection of B&W prints, and no excuse not to finish it.
