Day 336: It's done! Well, I still have to create a "made by" tag for the back, but it's ready for the laundry. 60" x 68", it makes a nice topper for a full-size bed. They say that the skill of a quilter can be best seen on the back of their work, and while I'm not exactly proud of the machine piecing (I was working with "mistake cuts" for the print squares), I think the actual hand-quilting would pass muster. Each of the 72 blocks (pale blue center surrounded by 20 small squares) took approximately four hours. Hand-stitching is time-consuming! I feel a great sense of relief to have this one out of my "unfinished works" basket, but I've already started piecing another one.
