Doing a Happy Dance!

I just did the little dance of quilty joy--I have finished all 20 blocks for my Great Granny Square quilt!

Here is #19:


And here is #20:
(The chicken fabric is from Holland--I bought it at the Dutch quilt show a couple of years ago.)

Here are all the blocks laid out on my design floor...it was almost dark by the time I took the picture... I promise to take the picture of the finished quilt outside where it is nice and bright.

I have to add sashing and cornerstones and a pieced border still, but it feels good to have the blocks finished!


I did not repeat any of the fabrics except the red centres and the white background.


I also started making blue nine patches today the for 9-patch swap/mystery for the London Friendship Quilters' guild. I have 7 done so far. (I need to make 20 for the swap)


 
That's all for today. I may have some time to put a swoon together tomorrow night. I also have to piece the flannel backing for my Stars for My Friends mystery quilt...so much to do, sew little time.
