Whoop! Whoop! 7/27/12

Not a finish, but it's getting closer!  I calculated that I'd need 110 of these blocks, but I didn't keep a count when I was cutting the pieces.  I finished up the center blocks with the fabric I had cut, and wound up with 105 -- pretty close!  
I know I have plenty of the sashing pieces cut -- in fact, probably way too many, and they may go into the outer border.  So I have just  five more blocks to make.  This is really an easy pattern that I got from AllPeopleQuilt.com (free download) a couple of years ago.  I have two flimsies that need to be quilted this month, so when I get these blocks put together, I'll have time to quilt and finish it in time for autumn -- YAY!  (Oh dear, did I just make a plan?  Oh, oh.)


Stay cool, out there, all y'all!

    I love your leaves!! They remind me of the Ozark Maple Leaf quilt I've been wanting to make but just a little intimidated ;-) They are great with batiks, which I also love. Maybe it's time for me to pull out that pattern and go for it. Thanks for sharing!!

    Oh, I love those leaves! That looks like a great way to use odds and ends up, too.
