This is my effort of the past week(plus). It's been done over the course of a year(or so) and is has less harmony than I usually strive for. It is a "separate-ness" or blocky feeling. One way to avoid that is to have ALL the blocks you are going to use and work with a design wall. Mostly I strive to "build" a row or a section of the same height. This one is currently 52" X 72". It looks like it needs a border to me, but it's not going to get one because my roll of batting is 54" wide...and that's that!
The work of many of my blogging friends are in this one, some of my orphans, and the big cheddar H.A. was donated by friend Betsy. After reading the WI quilts book, she made a whole H.A. quilt....her youngest daughter loved it!

Hey, so glad to hear from you...I see a couple blocks from me in your orphan quilt! Love those quilts so much!!
Your garden looks all neat and tidy. Glad that your quilts are growing row by row as well.
Happy to see you posting again. Missed you. Seems like you've been quilting up a storm.
Ah, I'm jealous of your garden! We had 3 weeks of no rain and temps in the mid-upper 90s and my flower and veggie gardens were suffering--my water bill was twice the usual amount. Thank goodness we've finally had some rain and cooler temps the last couple of days.
This is my first ever successful garden, but I've not attempted greens yet, and I've never tasted chard. I'd love to try spinach later on.
Is that a rain barrell I see behind the garden?
the orphan quilt is going great - love the bits of cheddar in there and especially the HA!
