I got my bday quilt from last year finished over the weekend! I did minimal quilting with mostly SITD as I wanted each unique block design to stand out. DH's reaction was "WOW!". I think he likes it very much. I love it! :) Thank you again to everyone from the "make a wish" group who made blocks for this quilt.

Great job Dee! Love the colors.
I can't wait to get my blocks so I can make my 2011/2012 birthday quilt. I chose the same block so I will have 24 blocks....no sashing!

Dee,
That is absolutely beautiful! I love blue and brown together and what wonderful fabric you found for the border. I have been working on a charity quilt, but seeing your quilt completed makes me want to pull out some of my birthday blocks. I may set the charity quilt aside for a few days and work on a birthday blocks quilt!
Thnaks so much for sharing the picture.

Thank you both! I wasn't sure what I was going to use for sashing/border. One of those....I will know when I see it things. Found that fabric while on a shop hop last summer and my sister in law convinced me to get it. At first I second guessed my decision as too busy but after quilting SITD to make the block designs "pop", I think the sashing ties together the color combos. I am hosting a "girl's day" with DH's sisters, nieces, Mom, Aunts and cousins this coming weekend and was motivated to get it finished in time!

I look forward to seeing others birthday quilts as you complete them. Keeps me motivated!

Your quilt is really beautiful Dee. I was in the Make a Wish group, so am happy that I was able to contribute to your quilt. Your sashings certainly do tie the blocks together really well. Well done

What a beautiful quilt. The sashing fabric is perfect.
Thank you for sharing the picture.

What shape is the block on the bottom corners?
