It is hard to put them all together, but a design wall helps a lot. Good luck - your blocks are beautiful.<br />Thanks for linking up with Design Wall Mondays, Judy.Judy Hansenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17649462797771381573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-20457136908605786992017-10-31T08:42:50.935-04:002017-10-31T08:42:50.935-04:00wonderful project! wonderful project!

I bought some yardage from Quilter's Garden Patch in Oakville years ago that was very Canadian with the anthem and maple leaves. Mine was going to be in Red and cream. By then I had lots of patterns so lumped them together in 4-patch, 9-patch and other similar designs, then proceeded to blitz by cutting out lots of pieces with my GO cutter. After making about 8 blocks I realized that I needed to have other colours and everything ended up in a project box and I went to Africa. I bought several of the Canadiana fabrics and will eventually try to make them work together. <br />I agree that the blocks look better separated with sashing. But do they also need corner stones?Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/07754244941394074550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-8948589069458772632017-10-30T13:49:25.169-04:002017-10-30T13:49:25.169-04:00It looks great so far, and good luck!It looks great so far, and good luck!Katie Z.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15747099863417435647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-66229164383249099212017-10-30T13:07:33.691-04:002017-10-30T13:07:33.691-04:00Kathy.

I joined the FB group and enjoyed seeing everyone's progress. My blocks, and the six setting blocks are all done. I am planning to lay it out chronologically, and hopefully that will help spread the colour clumps out. I am hoping I don't lose momentum on this project. I am thinking I will hand quilt this one (slow stitching!). <br /><br />I did manage to finish one quilt for the 150th. I did Lorna McMahon's design. I think I also learned about her from your blog!! So another thank you. <br /><br />Susan Earlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134370853964543741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-29175055143419247462017-10-30T12:19:04.268-04:002017-10-30T12:19:04.268-04:00Sashing would look great adnI would consider putti...Sashing would look great adnI would consider putting the blocks on point.

I think I made about 85 blocks but after making several 6 inch blocks with 72 pieces in them I got bored. I have downloaded each of the patterns but have not yet decided if I will do all 150 blocks or not. I have noticed some settings on line that make the quilt less busy but then when I see the quilt tops completed on Facebook I think I should persevere. Each morning I read your blog and am inspired so I am so thrilled to find that I am in good company.
