UFO + (time & inspiration) = 1st finish of 2013
Particulars - Pattern is Disappearing 9 Patch. Setting triangles were involved, but worth it. I over cut the triangles so there is an extra 1/4" between the corner block and the stop border. I like to think that gives the center a bit of breathing room. Stop border finished at 1.5 " Stripped border is labor intensive, uses a lot of thread, but was worth it as well. It will be trimmed to approx 6" after it's quilted. 78.5" x 85" Binding will be the purple I used for the stop border.
whoohhooo! Time to make the binding and backing, and hang it in the closet for machine quilting.

Stunning! I love the dark border...great looking quilt!
congratulations and I love your Math descriptions.
The piano key borders is so great on this quilt!
I like to make the setting triangles so that the design "floats" a bit. Gives me a little breathing room when I sew on the borders so I'm not chopping off points. : )
This is a beauty. I didn't realize it had begun life as a 9-patch!
That is just beautiful. I once made a quilt with a similar feel, all in purples and greens. I think it is one of my favorite quilts ever!
Looking good Sharon. Even though I voted for the dark, I was getting worried about it but now that I see it in place i think it works!
Good job...
Congratulations!! It's beautiful.

Oh yes, I think the time was soooo right for this one!!
