I finally cut the border for this quilt and and got it sewn on and pressed. It is now 55.5" x 75.5". Procrastination - 5 days, cutting, sewing and pressing - 1 hour. If you want good directions for making this block, Anne (agilejack) has a great post on it. I followed her directions for my 2 quilt tops. Speaking of 2 quilt tops, here they are side by side. I made the first "The Other 16 Patch - cool" with the block in a vertical position. For "The Other 16 Patch - HOT" I have the blocks in a horizontal position. Same block, 2 completely different looks. I love them both! This Coral Bell is the one that was red and gold all summer and now it is purple and green, or at least that is what it looks like here. It is the prettiest Coral Bell in the front garden. One variety of the miniature Sedum plants really spread out and has lots of blooms that look just like the ones on the big plants. This one only had a few blooms last year. The blooms on the big Sedums are a blend of burgundy and brown now. I will leave them all winter and if we get snow (ha ha, IF we get snow in northern IL) they will have coneheads of white. They resemble large mushrooms. Last night I was looking through my 3 Kathy Doughty books and liked this quilt in "Making Quilts". There are 48 little squares pieced with 2 triangles in every block (576 squares in 12 blocks). So, I analyzed why I was drawn to the quilt, and would I really want to make it. I love triangles so I thought that was what drew me in, but the dotty looking fabric in the strips in the blocks and the pebbly looking sashing fabric are pretty neat too. (enlarge the photo to see the fabrics better). I like busy quilts and print fabric. After analyzing I think I need to make one block. That might be enough and it will probably end up as the center of a small medallion quilt or an orphan block. I would be surprised if I made more than one block.
