last block has arrived and quilt top is done

I have planned my quilt. It is always hard when you participate in a block swap. They don't always measure the same. I love the challenge of working around this.
I didn't do the required amount of blocks that Deana has done for her row by row quilt..
I have trimmed and played, measured and added.... This is the results so far......

The top section

 The middle section waiting on my last block to come in the mail

 The bottom section

Look at all those beautiful quilts that are hanging.

See where I have filled some spaces with the bonus half square triangles. They were used to make it all up to size. Now I have to add a one inch strip all the way around and my border blocks hopefully will fit. I'm not sure yet. It still has to be laid out.

I am happy with it so far especially because I have put them together so soon.

Well, my last block has arrived from Denise.....

So I have trimmed it to fit in the middle row..

And here it is... The top is together. I only have to get the borders sewn on...

Quilts in the garden blocks received. Border blocks made. Possible layout

It has been great over the last few months working on these fun blocks.
This block has come all the way from Kathi in Alaska.... The quilt on the fence is so cute

Thankyou Kathi

And this one is from Linda T. It's a bit different with the blue sky but it is still pretty. The quilt is so sweet.

I have managed to make all 26 of my border blocks for this months finish....

Is anyone going to be swapping these blocks this month...

,

And I even made the bonus Half square triangles too.....

So I had a play with the layout of the blocks. This was a row by row quilt but I am not doing mine in rows. Mine will look a bit busier and come out a completely different size. Oh the challenge.

I will fill in the spaces with the half square triangles and trim some blocks to make them all fit in.

This is what I have so far....

The empty space is for the one  I am still waiting on. A tree block is to come from Denise.

It has made it over the waters

hi everyone.
Just like to say that another fence and quilt block has made it across the waters.
From Alaska to Australia.. What a trip....
Kathi, Thankyou so much. I love your block. The quilt is amazing. I can't wait to start putting all these blocks together.......
This has been so much fun....

Block received

Yesterday I received my block in the mail. It came from Linda Th in Texas, rather than Denise. The blocks were marked wrong when they were posted, but she said they decided to send the blocks that were pictured. THANK YOU Linda. I love it, and the mini quilt is just darling. 
Goal for today, get my rows set! I have my 26 chevrons made, but can't sew them together until I have the rows together.
