I worked on an on point layout last year, but then put it back in the closet. I had to decide if this was the layout I liked best, then figure out the setting triangles.
I took the spool collection to quilt camp this year and with the assistance and encouragement of my friend Barb, I made some progress. She helped me figure out the setting blocks on the edge. I needed to make many more brown spools.
This is how the edge will look. I'm very happy with all these decisions and looking forward to making more progress on getting these blocks into a quilt top.

This looks amazing! :)
Oh Kathy! These are fantastic.
Kathy, you are doing an amazing job on that. Well done!
This is great! I never liked spool blocks but the way you have them laid out gives a whole new look to them. I may make some myself someday now. Thank you for showing me new possibilities!
SQUEAL!! love it!
You did a beautiful job!
it's looking great so far!
I am loving this. I did a spool of scraps and cheddar, but seeing this I'm ready to do another. Your are so inspiring.
Two heads are better than one in this case. This will be an amazing finish. Well worth the wait!
I said I couldn't wait to see your layout and here it is! Love it! How big will it be? How many spools did it take? (I'm almost at 700).
This is going to be one delightful quilt! Looking forward to seeing your progress on it.
Spools are on my list to do one day! yours looks fantastic
I really like the setting you have chosen. The placement of the yellow in the center really adds a great glow to the quilt.
Wow! It's going to be a fabulous rainbow quilt. Love the color progression across the quilt.
It's so nice to have quilter friends to help when we're stuck. Keep up the good work!
It's looking so good, and I love it.
Wow Kathy!!! That is one awesome leader/ended quilt - it's going to be gorgeous!!! Love the edge design - your friend Barb is a real keeper :*)
That is incredible. Truly wonderful.
Love it. The radiating colors are fabulous!!!
That is a great design! This is going to be a show stopper.
Love your layout! The colors are just gorgeous!
Barb is a good person with whom to bounce ideas! Looks great so far!
Your spool quilt glows with the yellow sort of in the middle.
I'm not a huge spool fan. Putting them on point gives them new life in my eyes. I think your rainbow version is going to be fantastic. Look forward to the finish.
Love the layout. Great system with the labels to know where each block sits. So many spools, lots of work in there. Knowing you, this quilt probably represents as many spools as you have emptied in your quilter's life lol. ;^)
Oh that Barb, she is such a good helper!!! Hope you had fun at quilt camp and got lots accomplished.
I think it is going to be fabulous!! Happy happy stitching.
What an amazing layout! This is quite an accomplishment to get to this point with these tiny blocks! Congrats!
I love it--can't wait to see this all come together!!
Such a pretty layout! Good thing you had a friend to prod you along and help make it happen. Would hate to think this would just be languishing in a closet any longer.
Wow, this looks fabulous, Kathy! I love the diagonal set, and of course the rainbow too! I think this one will be a treasure. :D
Wow!! That diagonal set makes SUCH a difference! This is just stunning!
You and your friend should plot together more often - who knows what wonderful things you'll come up with next?

Your setting for the spools is going to look amazing! My spools are still in waiting mode, but I'm happy to see yours coming to life!
I would never set spools on point - what a great new look to this. Lovely to have a friend assist and it looks like it was a great solution.
Love the way you have set your spools, both the colour placement and the design. Lots of sewing, all those seams, but well worth it, a lovely scrap quilt.
This is going to be fantastic when finsihed.
I can only join all the above bloggers in saying what a stunning quilt you have in the making here, just stunning.
this is an amazing technicolor dream of a piece!! Holey Moley--you definitely have perseverance and patience....this is gorgeous...hugs, Julierose
That is going to make a beautiful quilt!
That is wonderful - we all need a friend like Barb!
Just stunning. You should be really motivated to move forward.
Those spools are great and you're insane! I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Beautiful and a great leader ender project.
Stunning is the word that comes to mind. Sounds like you can move forward now.
Pure eyecandy, what a wonderful layout. Yoru color combinations are awesome.
Greetings,
Sylvia
Wow, I just love how it is coming together. I also have a few spools done from the Leaders and enders. I have the feeling I might have enough for 2 quilts. I just kept making them.
This is going to look wonderful. I almost always like blocks set on point.
I love this! It makes me want to make many little spool blocks. Thanks for sharing ... :) Pat
wow - these spools are great!
