What are all of these blocks supposed to look like when they are assembled? Here's an EQ mock-up of my king-sized quilt. It'll be about 108"x108" when it's done. I hope I get it quilted in my lifetime. :-)
Sharp eyes will see that the border blocks (as pictured above) are on the top and bottom edges of the mock-up below. Even sharper eyes will notice that the SIDE BORDER blocks are different. Well, there's a story behind that. I was prepping the border blocks (above) and I was on a roll. It was kind of like an assembly line and I was in the zone. I wanted to have them prepped so I could work on them during an up-coming road trip.
You can imagine my immense surprise when I realized that after all the border blocks (above) had been prepped that I only needed half of them. Oh. My. Goodness. (ummm ... those weren't my exact words, but this is a Family-Safe Page, ya know). At that point, I wasn't sure if I had enough of the black background fabric to do the remaining flower blocks PLUS remake the side border blocks. Then I realized that I could remove all the prepped fabric pieces and reuse the background .. but the leaf fabric would be wasted.
Or I could wait until all the flower blocks were done so I could cut more side border block backgrounds .. but then I'd have all the prepped border blocks (above) unneeded.
***OR*** I could simply use all the border blocks (above) that I had already prepped, all the way around the quilt. If you had never seen the mock-up picture, you absolutely would never realize that the side borders should have been different. Being a lazy quilter, that is the solution I am using. All the prepped border blocks will be used and the border will be the same all the way around.
I feel so much better. :-)
