I finally finished making the 52 blocks for the last full round of the Facets Quilt. This round took me a long time! I didn't realize when I started this quilt that I would need to make 196 blocks and that doesn't include the border. I thought it was a great project to use up scraps. I did use some scraps but I also bought a few fat quarters as I needed them. I'm not sure I used up much of my stash.
These are the last 4 blocks I made for this round. It sure felt good to know I'm finally done with this block! They measure 6.5" square.
This is my pile of 52 blocks. Shouldn't it look bigger??? Months worth of work in such a small pile! I'll be sewing the blue blocks onto the quilt as my next step. The border will follow!
This is really a beautiful piece, Rosemary--the colors of all the rounds are just lovely...nice work hugs, Julierose
