It certainly is a mystery. Where are all those other blocks you made? BTW, love your socks.

This is SOOOOO beautiful.  I love it.  So many gorgeous fabrics so beautifully combined.

If FOQ goes ahead, I’m going to kidnap you to be my personal shopper.

It's lovely hun. However, I'd love to see it with the original centre as it's one of my favourite blocks.
How big is the finished article?
The colours are gorgeous

[Iminei]

The whole quilt, without extra borders should come out at 60"

Its a ten block by ten block quilt, so One hundred 6 1/2" blocks (UF)

The centre blocks were Four 6 1/2" blocks that made up a star within the fins of another star and I thought it was booooooorring!

Im just pleased I managed to keep all those weeny HST's straight! and Ive got at least FIVE stars within my centre!!!

So this is how it was at end of play yesterday!

Its got quite big ... only one more round of blocks to go!

[Puzzler]

Ah, that’s where those other blocks are. Gorgeous.

I finished piecing the top yesterday but Im not sure too happy at some of the matching points so I might well be unpicking a lil and resewing later on today ???

Pics later!

[RJR_38]

That looks great! I really like the colours you have chosen

[Iminei]

In the end I did unpick the areas that were bothering me and have resewn them ... They're still not perfect (to do with the way the seams lie I think but unfortunately in the way the blocks were made its impossible for them to lie a different way) but they are certainly less jarring and I hope will not stick out like a sore thumb!

Sorry for the camera angle but this was the only way I could get the (almost) whole thing in the pic ... Next to layer the monster.

Oh and btw I did replace the very dark blues in blocks 2 and three ... I think that was a good decision!

It looks lovely, well done for sticking with it and keeping up to date.

[Iminei]

Better pic for you all ....

Thought about this lilac vine ...

Unless anybody has a better ideas ... I want fresh and light I think and most definitely NOT pink!

[Morzel]

That is a beautiful quilt top, @Iminei ! Lovely subtle colour changes, and the 'scrap center' is a great decision.

[Manuela]

This is gorgeous @Iminei, I love the colours
