Here it is! Started in October of 2009, I have had the blocks finished for a while (since October 2010), but hadn't assembled them into the center of the quilt. About 540 parts later (sashing, cornerstones, setting triangles and 113 blocks), it is a center. Only need to find the perfect border (not that easy to do, I am thinking), then I can complete the top and figure out the quilting. There is a Shop Hop in June, so if I don't find something before then, this will be making the rounds.6/2/11 - decided to do the skinny border with the brown I used for sashing, and found a muted green fabric for the final border, with just 3 yards left on the bolt. Must have been meant to be, I needed three yards! I should have enough of the light fabric used for the setting triangles to make pillowcases, along with the brown for the accent color on the end.

Your quilt is just gorgeous!
Beautiful. At the next guild mtg, Sally Collins will be talking about borders :) in case you didn't see that.
Thank you.
Sally's talk on borders could be helpful. Thanks!
It is soooo beautiful, Connie! Happy to hear you found the perfect borders for it!
Wasn't that a labor of love just putting the blocks together? I'll never forget doing mine and it is high time I get a border on it and get it quilted.
What an adventure it was making those blocks....
