I am really gaining momentum on this quilt made up of square dance blocks and a mixture of Amy Butler fabrics. I decided to use a lot of white to balance out the wild patterns. I added more blocks featuring some red fabrics so the color will be more varied on the sides with the top remaining a mix of blues, turquoise and green. I finished a total of 56 fourteen inch square blocks and laid the quilt out in 8 rows of 7. The finished quilt will be a little larger than a standard queen. I'm still debating about whether I want to "quilt" it myself or send it out to be finished on a long arm machine. It's such a simple design that I should be able to easily "stitch in the ditch" along all the seams but I also love the idea of having a beautiful feather or scroll pattern. This will be for our bedroom so I'm tempted to really make it a showstopper.
