Beautiful indeed! You’ve been so productive. We’ve had a two-week run of sickness here, but it involved Mr. Knitsonya as well and so the household fell into a state of generalized disarray that I am still working my way out of. I think one big quilt, the interplay between all the squares and patterns is just so lovely.

I am so glad to hear that your quilt alongers are behind the way I am on eight by eight. I think I’m perpetually behind in my life right now. Hoping to catch up soon. Those quilt squares turned out beautifully!!!

I know I am not in your group, so I hope it is OK that I posted… I agree – go with the crib quilts – especially if you wouldn’t use the pink and brown in your house. It would make a great throw to get out in February… I can’t wait to see it / them finished.

well, half or more of the quilts that I make (to keep) don’t match my house…(I don’t have a single pink room)…but I keep them anyway.

thanks for quilting behind. your blocks are gorgeous. I think it would make a nice throw size to keep….and use it in your home, even if it doesn’t match.

Oh I am even further “behind”. I am also determined to do this quilt along, but I am just now picking my fabric colors. I am glad I waited because it is so fun to see the same quilt but with different colors. It looks just as beautiful but totally different. I can’t wait to see yours completed.
