There is definitely some instant gratification going on around here, as this quilt keeps growing.......

and growing some more.

I might just finish this quilt before starting something else. I might actually practice project monogamy as suggested by Chawne.  We'll see what happens....if I do it'll probably be a one time thing.

  I can't link up like I usually do....still no computer.....but check out her blog, great post today. My computer is here and it's all linked now.

Also....I messed up with all my linking but this post is now linked to

    Just came across your blog, and that quilt is fantastic....I love the QAYG idea...and it looks like a great way to bust some of that stash...I have my thinking cap on now! Not sure about project monogamy...a bit variety adds some spice ;)

    That QAYG quilt is stunning. Are your seams thick where you join it up? The colours and whole look of the quilt is gorgeous.

    Why do I want to jump up and make a copy of every quilt that you design? I am so addicted to your style. This latest quilt makes me smile :>) every time I check in to see what you've done next. Just when I think it couldn't be any more perfect, there you go again, making perfection more perfect.

    Ingenious use of the Kaffe stripes! It does just keep getting better. So inspiring -- I keep trying to imagine your method for joining these borders & look forward to learning how, so maybe I can make bigger pieces again. Just can't face wrestling with large projects under my small traditional machine anymore...

    The colors look so good together ~ ♡ it!
    I'll be leaving soon for 2 weeks, and I'm taking my computer with me so I can see what you are working on.
    When I get back I'm going to give this a try ☺
    Aloha!

    OMG! I had the scale of this piece totally wrong. I love the impact this has, especially now I can see how large it is. It's gorgeous Marianne. Thanks so much for sharing.

    I think I can safely say that this quilt is the most beautiful quilt I've seen. I've liked other quilts, can admire the fancy stitching on some, love the pattern on others etc, but this quilt really gets to my heart. I hope you will show us how you add your borders 'cause you have to know we all want to make our own version!
