It’s now at 36 inches. I’ve decided to square it up now as I have a couple of borders planned that will take it to a good-sized lap quilt. The last round of diamonds took 2 evenings of stitching to add.
The back. I am so glad I pressed as I went on this. Pressing the last round took only a few minutes as I had finger-pressed as I stitched, but I can’t imagine how long it would have taken to press the whole thing at one time.
Last week I was put on a medication that initially has made me very groggy and I’m sleeping close to 12 hours at a time. That’s not the point of mentioning this, though. The silver lining has been the dreams! I’ve had many dreams of quilt designs and the dreams have stayed with me long enough that I’ve been able to write them down when I woke up. I’m thinking this is a definite bonus.
Mr. Q.O. captioned this photo, “Well, are you going to just sit there or finish it?”

Your quilt will be outstanding! I can’t wait to see the finished project.
I’m happy that there is a silver lining to what you are having to deal with, you need to document the quilt patterns, ideas and then write a book on your quilt dreams! 🙂
Baxter looks like he’s going to take over the crossword puzzle if he could only hold a pencil…and could spell.
Quilty Dreams!
