And then I trimmed up the edges of all 121 blocks...

| That is a lot of blocks! |
I haven't seen a pile that high of blocks in a while! They are 9 1/2 inches now (to be 9 inches in the quilt) so it takes quite a few to make a king size quilt. After I put the kids to bed last night I sat down with a beer and laid them all out into rows so they are now all ready to sew together. I will start sewing them into rows this evening.
There was one four-patch that was facing the wrong direction. I think it ended up in row four. Not too bad to get one wrong out of 300. I considered taking it out and fixing it but as I had already trimmed and such I decided to leave it in there. I can't imagine that anyone else would ever even notice it. It will just be there to remind me that that a little bit of imperfection is part of life.
I am not even finished with this quilt and I am already thinking about the next one I am going to put together. It is Molly's turn for a quilt and I have had the materials for hers for some time. It was supposed to be the next quilt like 3 quilts ago... then came the quilt for Christmas... and this one... but no worries! I am going to do hers next! It is a 9 patch pattern so it shouldn't take very long to do at all. Here is the pattern I chose. I found a super cute jelly roll some time ago that has adorable little owls and snails and such on it and when I found this pattern I knew that was what I would use it for.
I still need to get something to use for the coordinating non-white part of the border. I also want to put a fuzzy purple blanket on the back of it for her as she loved that I did that with Gabe's quilt last year.

Sew much to do and always too little time!!
