Hi Cuties! This is a QOV top I am glad to be finished with. Needless to say, my one and only, like it. Too many seams and they don't match perfectly, so no close looking-lol-Each 12 inch block has 41 pieces!
Hope you like, more important I hope whomever gets it, likes it.Now I need to move on to my granddaughter Lanie's quilt, as her b-day is the 7th, if I want to have it finished, but...I want to play with ruler quilting.... Such hard decisions!-lol Have a nice day, my friends-Toogie
I have added a link to the BLOCK pattern I used, except I used a square in the middle, instead of the pinwheel. This pattern makes a wall quilt. However, all you really need is the block pattern, making as many or as few as you like for the size you want, whether you choose to make a runner, wall hanging, table topper or quilt.The blocks finish at 12 inches after set in row. As you can see I made 20, four across and 5 down. With borders mine measure 61x79. In the American Patchwork & Quilting August 2017 issue, it has a beautiful quilt that was the inspiration for this quilt. They used 20 blocks but only one border, so their finished quilt size is a little smaller 56 1/2 x 68 1/2.

I didn't know that I would like piecing a top so much. It's the cutting out that is hard on my back, even though my table is on risers. Then I found I liked free motion quilting when I was making so many bags. My grandmother always had a quilt going. My mother always sewed our dresses. I guess the quilting bug skipped her but I'm glad I got bit!-lol-I just finished my granddaughter's top yesterday. I think it would be a good slate to practice ruler quilting, although she may want it simple. To me, the top is a more modern piece, contemporary maybe the style, I don't know.

I’m glad you like it. It is just one block repeated but it makes it look like a second block. Thanks Nan

Millie, I have had half the blocks made since before Christmas. I just finished the others in the last few days, but it seems like it has taken me for-ev-er. I don't like stopping in the middle of a project, but I needed to make my guys' Christmas quilts. I do appreciate your nice comments. Right now I am just glad to be done with it. Someone else will quilt it. I also made the pillowcase today that matches it, but I didn't show.
