3-patch quilt top done!

Using an idea Sophie posted, I sewed blocks together in panels, put borders on the panels, sewed the panels together and then used the remaining blocks in the border. If I were doing it again, I would use the same color fabric to border each panel and in between the blocks that form the outside border.
I used every block I received and made two additional to have 3 blocks on the top and bottom borders.
My husband said this quilt top is "gorgeous"! First time he has said that about a quilt I made :)

    Wow! I agree with your husband - it's stunning! I'm a big fan of purple and green together, and this is a really pretty arrangement.

    This is the first time I've ever worked on blocks that weren't square, so I couldn't see how it was going to fit together. It looks fabulous!

    First: Finished is impressive! Second: It is gorgeous to a male as there are no cutsie and no pink.... Third: Your design is super. I was not sure how such a bla block was going to work up and you proved it works up GREAT.

    I love it too. Just waiting for my final two sets of blocks to arrive and then I hope I get mine together as fast as you have.
