Anyway, I added the strips of fabric in between the blocks to make the quilt a bit bigger, I didn't want regular sashing, I was afraid it would take away from the blocks. I love each and every one of these blocks...this quilt will be treasured! -if I ever dare quilt it, that is :)
I made a block for Beth for 8two8...I am a bit behind, I am making her a green and a purple block. So far all I have is the green block ;)
Viola chose the backing fabric, a vintage sheet I had in my stash. The girl has good taste, if you ask me....
I am planning to take you to my new job soon...yep, I am now employed. No more full-time studies for me for a while (dare I say never again?!). I feel very blessed, lucky and happy!!

I love your quilts! The pink and orange squares are beautiful, and I love that the squares were made by friends - such a lot of love went into it. That's a big commitment, but such a fun project. And what a great idea to make a quilt to keep the kids warm in the bike. You're a very good mom! I can't wait to hear about your job. :0)
What a darling quilt top!
hurray for no more study (at least for a while). Well done to have it all finally finished.
a man who sees curtains and thinks fabric?? That's a REAL keeper you got there!! Way to go on getting re-acquainted with your sewing machine! I can't wait to see how you quilt the 8two8 quilt!!
Congratulations on the new job! Love you new quilt top - such bright, happy colours.
Congratulations on your new job! And on finishing the quilt top - I love the colours and the strips between add just the right touch to bring it all together.
And your Charles sounds like a real treasure - to see curtains and think "quilt" - what more can you ask for, indeed :-)
Wonderful news about your new job Tine, cant wait to hear about it.
Those quilts will keep your kids nice and warm and I just love the colours.

Beautiful pink&orange! I like your green block too! Green is my favourite color!
i love how you put your blocks together in your quilt top! what a great idea!
Congratulations Tine on finishing your studies. Your quilt is looking good. I love you idea of having a snuggly blanket on the bike. I've used fleece just as a backing on some quits as they are just right when needing to snuggle in cold weather.
Congraulations!
The quilt top is soooo pretty - love the orange and pink!
