  1. Great progress! I noticed the basting is that because you are Engish Paper Piecing them?

  6. Very pretty fabric choices. I would never be brave enough to try making a quilt that big by hand. Good on you.

  7. I really like to keep track of my progress on a large project in the same way. It helps me to know where I am at and what to work on as I go along. Such lovely blocks!

  8. Thank you for all of the lovely comments.
    I am English Paper Piecing this quilt - it is a labour of love, a year down already and not even half way, but I'm absolutely fine with that!
