I thought I still had some cutting to do but was pleasantly surprised to discover, when I reopened the project, the cutting part was finished!
I randomly sewed 240 rectangles together to make 120 roughly six inch squares. I have made this pattern many times before but never used a layer cake for the fabric. To optimize the number of rectangles I could cut from a 10" square, I had to slightly alter my usual block size. More about this later...
This quilt is a gift and I am purposely not revealing too much about the quilt. I don't think the recipient reads my blog, but ya never know...
It's so great to be sewing again!! I am currently living under this motto:
:o)

I cracked up at the motto. Just love it!! Good luck with the quilt.
Pretty fabric...funny little saying. My grandmother had one in her kitchen that ready...the hurrier I go, the behinder I get!
Hey, that's my motto too! I'd much rather sew than do housework, although you'd not know it lately. Can't wait to see what you're working on!
And when do we get an over-all shot of that big quilt you just finished? It looks like it's beautiful.
