Reviving a Neglected Project

After quite some time, (yikes!  over two years.....)  I have pulled out this project and made the final eight blocks for the quilt.  In the other sections I have both "Anita's Arrowhead" and "Old Italian" blocks.  For the bottom section, I decided to play fast and loose with the design and make eight "Old Italian" blocks for the finish.

Two of the blocks are unique and  different from the other six.  Some of you are quilters and will see it pretty quickly. I decided that I would use the mantra "Finished is better than Perfect." Because seriously, when have I ever made a perfect quilt - or anything for that matter?  Perfectly Imperfect is my style and I am happy that way.
I used several hand dyed fabrics in these blocks.  You may notice that the blocks are a "Night and Day" type in that they are made two at a time so you have the same colors in opposite places.  I used only two batik fabrics with the dyed fabrics.  Three of the fabrics are ones that I dyed.  The other two are hand-dyed by Vicki Welsh.  I love Vicki's fabrics. The two that she dyed are the dark turquoise and the medium purple with bits of blue in it (center and lower right blocks.)
My dyed fabrics are from the last dyeing that I did with "old" dye solution that came out paler than expected.  They made great semi-neutrals for these blocks.  Now I see that I need to purposefully dye some lighter toned fabrics.   That "failure" in dyeing was actually a great success!
Now, I need to piece the last two sections of this quilt and quilt those sections. The rest is quilted in large chunks already.  Once these two are done, I can join it all, bind it and {DAH da DAH duh} have a finished quilt.
