Well the sashing is now on. I ran out for another 1/8th yard of burgundy.....so that slowed me down. But it is done and pressed. Some are out of line, I had to rearrange and then replace one of my blocks, it was lacking 1/4 inch! Of all things! LOL........Now for the center, then the backing and the binding, Booper is working the binding. By Friday.......God willing and able, it will be done!
PS.....this quilt has been approved by the KCI and awarded the stamp of approval.

thanks for your efforts in pulling it all together.
Hi Nora,
In one word BEAUTIFUL! I like the colors and the blocks.
Loes
We all thank you! , Cheryl, Linda,(Hobby Stash), Judy, Sue, Pam, Betty Booper, and memaw, (Nora) along with AJ and Millie from RSVP here in Auburn, IN. .........Judy we talked about an auction. But with our making a larger quilt, say maybe 25 squares, we had 16, we ran short. But this one is going to a young cancer teen at Camp Watcha Wanna Do, here somewhere in Indiana. This has really been fun and I would love to do one someday again for the Cancer Society. I am also willing to do a couple blocks for any of you that has an organization in around you that could use a great quilt made by all of us @ AOQ. I am working on getting a hold of Cheryl for a label now that we are done. I can't wait to finish this! And I just want to thank everyone for the blocks and the support that you all have shown.......I am ready to sew more for all of you!! :)
Fantastic job ladies. I can't think of a better cause if there is another one I would love to do some of the blocks.
it's absolutely stunning, and what a great feeling to be able to be a part of this!!!!! Nora, email me at home, and let me know what you'd like on the label, and I'll get it out to you!!!!
Wow!! This looks great! I love ALL the blocks and love the way you arranged them. It just looks wonderful! Thanks for all your work putting it together.
