CW Blocks now a top

I have been sewing sewing and sewing and updating on FB, oops bad me nearly forgetting to update my blog.

So I went along with 7 rows of seven blocks-as I could not find some of my blocks, I kept looking for them as I was sewing along but to no avail..

P1050313 [800x600]

Blocks sashed together into rows..blasted cat would not move..

P1050314 [800x600]

Rows being sewed together.

P1050322 [1024x768]

Not taken in the best light, but now all rows joined.

P1050329 [800x600]

TA DA final border added and laid out on our kingsize bed..I am loving the fabric I chose for the border and just for something different I mitred the corners-but in no way did I try to match the fabric on the pattern.

P1050330 [800x600]

Now I honestly don’t know what to do with it, I think it is too huge for me to quilt it..so it may just have to have a nice rest in a closet for awhile..

Thank you to Barbara for these wonderful blocks each week and to the wonderful ladies that posted tutorials with their blocks as they made them, I know them blog posts  helped me out on many a occasion.

Oh yes and wouldn’t you know it on a final clean up of my sewing room today I found the rest of the blocks, aw well I now have some nice blocks to make some pot holders.

Cheers Vickie

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Vickie,
I have seen each of these blocks on your postings, but it's not until you put them altogether that you realise how much work has gone into your quilt. Well done and I bet you're very pleased with your quilt. Isn't it typical to lose some of your blocks and them find them later!! Regards, Anita.

A really beautiful job - the border goes perfectly with your blocks. As for the found blocks, they're some of my favorites.
