But, I am making progress. In my defense, I did make the decision to paper piece a full sized quilt so knew it was going to take quite awhile.
In total I need 80 blocks to finish at 60x75 inches - so far I've made 48 so I got quite excited this week about breaking the half way mark. I decided to start sewing some together and made up a quarter of the final layout. I think I want to quilt it in 4 parts as I know I will be able to do a better job that way so I will keep it in these sections until I'm ready for that.
Its going to be a symmetrical pattern so all the lines form a diamond shape. Some joins aren't perfect between blocks, but I don't think many will notice them.

I really like the variation you chose Shevvy and those colours work really well together.
That half way mark is a triumphant feeling isn't it? I've just spent half the night cutting foundation squares for selvages - and I did just over half so I know exactly when to celebrate!
Wow that's really coming along. The layout you have chosen looks great. You can have it ready for the Olympics next year. Green and gold - great Aussie colours, mwah ha haaaaaaa.
Spring colours - so bright and "airy". Looks like a lot of work :-)
Oh WOW! It is totally fabulous! Way to go on breaking the halfway mark. It's always a good feeling.
