dbams Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Here is a map of the layout. I will put this on the back, along with a label, for Rita. If you see a typo, or want your name to be shown differently, please let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cagey Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Betsy It looks gorgeous. I like how the half squares offset one row of blocks from another. Looks great. I am sure the quilting will make it a masterpiece. Cagey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quilt looks like we like someone a lot! Beautiful job girl. Thanks, Mary Beth! I made the half blocks to fill out those rows. I have Sharon Craig's Setting Solutions, where she does advocate cutting up your blocks as needed, but I did not want to do that to blocks I had not made myself!

Gator Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 Wow, wow, wow, the top is beautiful. I didn't even notice the half blocks but love the effect! Betsy, you have done a fantastic job!!!! The spreadsheet is a great thought too. Rita will be beside herself, it's sure to make her feel better and loved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 One more thing, yes I'm long winded. I hope Dawn and Tony see this quilt, it needs to be put on the APQS website/blog after Rita receives it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbams Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Rita's quilt is done! I showed it off to my Bunco group last night, and they all loved it. The "Bunco Babes" were also impressed that so many people from so many places would come together to make a quilt for someone most of them had never met. Twenty-four people from 14 states and 2 provinces. The APQS Forum is a wonderful Family! (Used Circle Lord Cosmos board for the quilting.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted March 10, 2017 Report Share Posted March 10, 2017 Betsy You did a completely marvelous job putting the blocks together, and an outstanding job quilting it out. I hazard to guess there will be a few tears shed when the opens the package. Great job. Whomever delivers it, should be sure to get a picture or even a short video of the opening.
