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.

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.

I love the double border and the star block. The colors work together so well with the print. Looks great!

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

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.
