I do impress myself... sometimes
I can't, of course, take credit for the colors or patterns, but if this isn't the spiffy-est quilt I've ever made... well it is the spiffy-est. Which means I'm not sure I'll ever top it and, no offense to Mike and Julie, I'm not sure I want to.
As you know, this is what each square was to look like:
And in the lj-cut is what it actually looks like, just under halfway done.
If I get several hours to work on it tomorrow, I'll be able to finish up the top part. The sewing goes fast, but the pinning (which I have to do) takes a long time.
Julie: I need to bind the edge of the quilt, which requires another material to do it. I can't locate the blue anymore, but I could possibly find the maroon again or you could pick a different material altogether to create an edge. I really don't want to use the off white stuff because it doesn't sew well and the edges stain more easily than anything else, but if you want that one, let me know.
