Blocks are Finished...Happy Dance!

I am amazed that I have all the blocks pieced!! WooHoo!!  Now comes the final piecing of the sides, center and final borders.  I am thrilled beyond words!!  Two weeks ago I finished the log cabin inner border.  There were 3 logs with directional fabrics, what a challenge to keep them in the right direction.  I know I'm fussy, but it would bugg me if the prints on this large border were out-a-sync.

Here's what they look like all together and one separately.

The last week and a half I have been working on the ribbon blocks.  I wish I would have thought about them a little more, because I would have pieced them on the diagonal so the center blocks were one square, but because the prints are so busy, it won't matter as much!  I'm so glad these prints were not directional. 

There are four stars in each corner of the ribbon border.  It was an "ahhh moment" to piece these little stars.  These stars grow on ya after you've made 21 for this quilt :)

I'm working on piecing the borders this weekend.  We have sunshine & beautiful snow outside making everything look glorious!  I love the snow, unlike most Ohioans.  I will drive in it, walk in it, play in it, snow-blow it, and sit with a cup of tea to behold it!

I hope you are working on beautiful projects!
