12 months in the making!

well 12 months ago (actually 13, 56 weeks)
I started modablocksheads3 with thousands of others across the world, 
this past weekend I have it all together...
enjoy some progress shots across the weekend
feeling it was going to be too busy (no sashings in this baby!)
but I perserved with it
sorry turn your head to the side its an onpoint layout (forgot that bit when I took the photo)
that's better...
that's the centre and first border completed ( mid Sunday afternoon)
still a lot of sewing to go!


are you ready for the big reveal???


ta da!!!!


and I only had to fudge one side border that was about 1/2" short!
and I'm not telling which one either!
Picked up a lovely fabric for the backing while I was out and about on Friday, 
now to do the backing, I'm going to incorporate the leftover blocks from the front into the back (I think), will have a play and see how it looks before doing any cutting or sewing on that...

So after 56 weeks, I now need to find another long term project...
there are a few I have in mind, but you will have to wait and see!

And some garden spam to end with...
even weeds can look stunning!

Oh, my gosh! What a beauty! Your early fears of it being too busy? No! There's something to see everywhere. It's a real treasure.

Wow! I love your layout. Well done on getting the top finished so quickly. I still have four blocks to catch up on before making my quilt top. I look forward to seeing the finished product. Like you, I am now on the lookout for my next long term project.

Turning blocks on point really make a difference, and what a great finish for the year (and a bit!). Well done, look forward to your next project, and the garden pics look great too.
