I'm done with my quilt top for the OP Challenge 2009–well almost, the orange rick rack is a must, but I need to return to HRQ to buy more. . .must. . .have. . .more. . .rick rack! The blocks originally finished at 12", I cut mine down to 10", so I'd have a 42" square finished product—I didn't want to have to piece the striped border... I used four Kaffe Fassett fabrics for the main part of the quilt, the inner border is a Moda solid and the snappish stripe is from the Farmer's Market collection by Sandi Henderson.
This was oodles of fun, many of the participants made quilts with 20+ blocks, some used the block in a "wonky" fashion (gotta love that) and someone even made a bag! You can check out the photos here. Recipes and anecdotal stories were exchanged. I also visited blogs which were new to me! Thanks Pat, can't wait 'till the next one–woot!
Happy Sunday!
Your OP quilt is GORGEOUS!
