I actually sort-of got started, but with so much else on the go, this is simply a project for when I want to do something fun and distracting.
I completed Block 33 - Selvage Block - on June 16:
This is number 4 of 100. So far, I have managed to make about 1 block a month. At this rate, I'll be finished in 8 1/3 years!
I am quilting as I go, and this block has now been sashed and quilted, but I forgot to take a picture!
The first block I did was #3 - Lots of Love. This one is sashed and quilted. This one is a corner block, so the sashing is complete on the top and left hand side (and the right for that matter - I screwed up and made a full sash instead of a partial.
(Pardon the lighting - it was nighttime in late February!)
The third block completed was #5 - Simple Simon, also sashed and quilted. this one is also destined for the top row, but I have to figure out a method of adding my sashings so that I have room to work on them even after quilted. I think moving forward I am going to put two rows of the sashing on the top and left-sides, and one row on the bottom and right. When they are sewn together, they will form a complete sashing (by the way, the sashing finishes at 1 1/2"..)
I have also completed Block # 6 - Focus Point, and quilted it with more than stitch-in-the ditch. I don't have a picture handy, but will post it on my next update!
