After a fun day with my brother and his family enjoying a cookout, I came home and took a nap. But then I got up and did this:

I have to say that I am finding the designs that are supposed to be "easier" to be more difficult for me. I know that I just need to practice them more and they will become easier for me to control. However, this is going to be either a lap quilt or a bed quilt, so it will be quilted - and "done is better than perfect." I have four more sections to quilt - each section will be done after completing that lesson. This should really keep me on track with this quilt. That said, if I enlarge it to bed size, I will have to either do big borders or make more blocks. I just have to keep that in mind and not allow it to derail my progress. Ha ha....I don't want this one to become a UFO.

I always opt for BIg borders, always. Lol. Looking really good!
Interesting blocks. These will make a fun quilt, whatever size you decide to make it.
One of these days I will take a class.....thanks for the inspiration
WOW!! Your blocks look SO much better than mine - but then I KNEW they would!! Mine are going to be my BEFORE blocks - maybe by this time next year I'll have some AFTER blocks that will look as good as yours do now - ;))
Quilting as you go is a fantastic idea. I need to take that class. You are doing great Gene!!!
Gene these look great! I think you're finding them difficult because maybe you're feeling penned in with the block design after doing all that wild quilting that you did so well.
