18 out of 41 X blocks are done, most of the others are near complete. This quilt is taking many more hours to sew than I thought. I've estimated that I have sixty more hours of sewing time to finish this quilt - yikes!
Lesson learned here, don't try to estimate how long it will take to finish a quilt. It is daunting to say the least, and if anything has slowed down my progress.
Do you see the red & white cherry print in the center of this block? I love that print :) It has been in my stash a long time, it makes me so happy to be using it! The fabric below it is garlic bulbs, and is a scrap from a long-standing WIP. Why garlic bulbs on fabric makes me smile, I don't know, but it does! :)
This block alone has scraps from a quilt I made for myself {the garlic}, a quilt made for my oldest son, one for a SIL, and a quilt made for my best friend's baby, as well as a couple reds that were stashed for just the right use. I love a good scrap quilt! :)
I'm linking up to WIP Wednesday over at Freshly Pieced and WOW at Ester's Blog

It's lovely to have a quilt where so many of the patches have special memories. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together. I hope your email gets sorted soon. These technical things are so annoying when they stop working properly :)
I think the colors and quilt block look wonderful. This should make a fabulous quilt.
it'll make a fantastic quilt and all those special fabrics will evoke wonderful memories
Isn't it fun to be able to pick out all the previous projects in your block. I love scrappy quilts ; )
That is going to be a fun quilt. I love looking at all the different fabrics. Garlic bulbs, huh? Interesting! Yeah, you can't think about how long it's going to take. Just enjoy the process!
