I finished six more blocks today. As I don't have a picture of the finished quilt, I didn't realize that when I put the blocks together the squares on the corners would line up. I didn't take a lot of time laying them out now, but they are striking. I still have a lot of blocks to put together, but I know the whole family is really looking forward to this one being completed.
Today's block, Underground Railroad, number 42 of 366, is a 12-inch block, and I really wish the photo did the fabrics justice. I used Darlene Zimmerman's fabrics yesterday and today and this one is a lot brighter in person. It went together easily, and I would love to do a whole quilt with this block too...however, my husband nervously asked me tonight just what we are going to do with all these blocks (I don't think he ever thought I would make it this far). I just smiled and said, "wait and see." :) I'm actually thinking of heading back to the sewing room to see if I can finish just one more block for my son's quilt...Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

the quilt is looking great.
I'm curious to see your hexagons, I'm doing pentagons to turn into a fabric ball but the book doesn't say how to attach the fabric to the template, I think I know, but it's look looking tight, we'll see I guess
Your son's quilt is looking amazing, you are progressing really quickly. Love the new block too!
