It isn't completely put together, but this is what it looks like on the design wall this evening. I had a grand time putting together the sashing/border strips and trying not the get two fruits/veggies on the same block. I ended up with only two blocks with repeated patterns. Not bad, I think. This is going to be such a fun quilt. It is very colorful and really brightens up the studio. Tomorrow, I think I will finish up the top. I am still undecided about a plain border to contain all this excitement. I welcome your feedback if you care to share.
I am also in need of a reasonably priced source for some hand-dyed cotton. I am looking for something dark with little to no visible pattern. I found a piece in the box from Carol Doak that I love, but don't have enough of it. It is what I used for the background on the Sunbonnet Sue. I need two yards, but can't afford to pay huge sums of money for it. Any suggestions?
Tomorrow, I will be in the studio again. Happy quilting, everyone.

Wow, Miki . . you've really been cookin'. That's great. You sound like you're having a wonderful time!
I like this quilt. What about a nice blue border to frame it? Maybe to match the blueberries. I can't help with the hand-dyed fabrics. Sorry.
What a wonderful virtual garden. Makes me hungry just looking at it. Great job.
Absolutely beautiful!!! How about dying your own fabric?
Miki, that's lovely! I have a FQ bundle of that same fabric, and still haven't decided how to use it. I like what you've done with yours!! Whoop whoop!!
Oh, how FUN! I love how colorful and visually interesting it is!
