17 in 2017.... September

I've been working on my hand pieced trip around the world quilt top for the month of September. When I pulled it out back before Hurricane Irma was set to arrive in Florida - I was on the first side of round 23 the dark pink round. These are 2 inch squares I am adding onto the quilt in rounds.

Round 23
I believe I am now on round  28 - the light purple and it just needs one last side to get stitched on which will probably happen today at bowling.
Round 28 = 112 purple squares. 

It is around 60 inches square at this point. I am thinking it might be close to being finished. I think the kids have selected a medium green leaf print for the next round..... I might end it off after that with some dark blue quarter square triangles. But..... I am reserving the right to change my mind!

Linking up with Meridythe for the 17 in 2017 for September. Somehow this UFO did not make my list...but I assure you it has been in process on and off since January of 2014!

Looks great Deb! As it grows it does take longer and longer to add each round so you have made really good progress.

I simply love this one. I can't believe you've been working on it that long, but it looks great.

It's a fun quilt and lets you play with colour. A good size too.

Always reserve the right to change your mind. I'm sure your quilt will let you know when it is ready to be done.

Your quilt is so bright and cheerful. I can't believe you can hand piece and bowl at the same time! The quilt is a real labor of love!

Loving your scrappy TAW quilt and the tuxedo Kitty sitting with you. My Maestro is that way. Permanently nearby and one of my buddies.
