Twenty Five Old Town

After a little more work of pressing open seams, I was up to 20 blocks up on the design wall. That means five more to go!

Oh my goodness, here's the final block, ready to be assembled, feels like a finish line being crossed.

I was really really excited to sew that last seam.

And tah-dah! All twenty-five blocks are up on the wall with the pieced sashing. I'm so excited to play around with arranging them until they're looking just right.

And after all the block finishing excitement, there's a little more...I worked on another part of the Old Town quilt at Sew Day. These red and white four patches are on their way to becoming a checkerboard border. 

I was super excited when I saw this was one of the features of the mystery quilt design. I am a total sucker for a checkerboard of just about any kind. I had piles and piles of four patches left over after assembling all the blocks and so I paired up a bunch and sewed them together. At home I sewed a bunch of the now 8 patches together. So I'm on my way to getting one of the borders done for this quilt. Now to press those seams so I can use them once the quilt center gets assembled.
