Well there has been progress – I have all the strips cut for the sashing and joined them together. I am loving these bright colors!
Sashing strips
Another row of blocks has been appliqued and they are ready to be stitched together and joined to the 1st row.
Here they are!

I am having to put this quilt together row at a time because of the need to quilt the sashing in between the blocks with different colored threads – quite a lot of changing bobbins and threads on the machine. But I think it will be worth it – it’s so pretty 😊
A while later ………………
Ok folks – here’s the 2 top rows stitched together – I’m going to have some hand sewing on the back to sew the horizontal sashing down but that’s not a problem.
Just 6 more blocks to go – it’s the large appliques that are taking the time but it’s fun watching them come together.
More tomorrow 😊
