Final Screen

Day 327 (bonus): This is it, folks! The last "screen," the last two blocks! The Twenty-Year Quilt is almost quilted! The next step will be adding a simple binding (machine sewing), and it will be DONE! DONE! DONE! For those who are curious, each of the 72 blocks consists of a four-inch center (light blue) surrounded by twenty 1" print squares. Blocks are joined squares to squares, making each "street" a double line of squares; an extra row of squares was added as a border around the entire quilt. Each small square is shadow-quilted. The plain centers are also shadow-quilted around the edge, plus a fleur-de-lys design in the middle. If you look at the back (bottom), you can see how each small square becomes a little "ravioli." Time spent in hand-quilting will be roughly 250-300 hours.
