I've got to say I'm not mad about how this is coming together. Nine blocks done, and the end is in sight. I easily finished three blocks including the block surrounds yesterday. If the stars align, I hope to repeat that again today and get all twelve of these blocks done.
Having the units ready for the block surrounds was a game changer. Make the block, add the surrounding units and sew your row together. Boom.
Isn't the coral/pink in this quilt beautiful? I think it catches your eye and makes your vision kind of dance over the quilt top. Oh foo, my dancing eyes just spotted a boo boo in the lower left block. One of the hsts is turned wrong. Oh well, serves me right for being smug about how cute this top is.
So, three more blocks, four lattice rows, an easy pieced inner border, and a plain outer border. This is going to be finished by this weekend!
Here's the cutest girl in 8th grade heading off for her first day of school. She's not only the cutest, she's possibly the nicest as well. She's mostly over her cold/virus and was very excited to see her friends and teachers again. Here's hoping it's a great year!

Quite a change from Baby E. Lovely young lady.
The quilt has a very unique setting. It really enhances the blocks.

Eva is going to be tall which, in my book, is something to be very happy about! Her messenger bag is super cute! The pink & coral are subtle but definitely do their ‘job’ in the quilt blocks!

I really can’t believe how much you get done when you put your mind to it! I kind of want to dislike you immensely… lol.

I hope Eva had a wonderful first day of 8th grade and a fantastic year. She is a very pretty girl. The splash of coral is just perfect in this quilt. Love it!

Yes, this is going to be another beautiful quilt!
Eva does look tall. I’m 5’10” myself, and for 2 or 3 years towered over the boys in my grade at this age. If this is the case for Eva, tell her to “hang in there” they do catch up and she will be able to have her choice of handsome 6-footers some day!

That is going to be a gorgeous quilt. Those block surrounds—colour and design—are great.
Glad that Eva was well enough for the first day of school. She is quite the lovely young lady!
