It is truly amazing well done. I wish you well whatever approach you take and please show us when it's done. It will be Quilt Board "Quilt Of The Week" I am certain.

LOL But by the time I got it quilted I would be so wide that I would need to make another just to cover myself up with VBG.

Let's see if I an calculate them. 237 double nine patch blocks at 49 pieces each would be 11,613; plus 238 shoo fly blocks at 41 pieces each would be 9,758; Oh my gosh is right! 21,371 pieces.

Thanks for sharing your beautiful quilt.

It is machine pieced (I would never get it done if I were hand piecing!)

Nope, no border on mine. I do plan to bind it with black fabric to set off the colors.

That is one of the most stunning quilts I have ever seen! Excellent piecing, fantastic color placement. I'm not sure I could put this one on my bucket list, lots and lots of pieces, but it sure is gorgeous!
