I didn't have enough of the grey sashing to do the setting triangles and corner triangles but I did have a few different pieces of that blue that were big enough for the 4 squares at 20 inches and the 2 squares for the corner triangles. It is a scrappy quilt so I had to pull from stash! I do like how it is turning out. The sashing really calmed it down from too busy and the blue just frames it well I think. Emily took one look and said ' I really like this one Mom'. Sigh... and there it goes! I'll have to see what size it is and try and make it a twin size for her bed I guess.
The reason I had to keep putting all the blocks back down on the floor was these two kept play fighting on it and messing up all my blocks! I had to do a bit of unpicking to figure out how to get this one together so that it has all the grey sashings on with the setting triangles. I am down to the long seams.... and it was a good place to stop for the night. I hate long seam sewing! I'll pick this one up on Sunday with a fresh outlook. Tomorrow - I'm taking the kids to the Orlando Science Museum. I just hope my foot holds up - I seem to have pulled whatever I did last year and that time it took 12 PT sessions to resolve with lots of rest.
Linking up with the RSC Challenge (Hopefully Angela will continue this in 2020 - I have a plan for next year already!), and Oh Scrap. If you'd like to see my recap post you will find it here.

didn't realize you had another RSC how many did you make this year - sounds like you need the foot taken care of!
That looks gorgeous on the new wood floors of the sewing room!! Just because Em likes the quilt doesn't mean you have to give it to her, you know? You CAN keep it for yourself! You just pulled your foot and I just pulled my back. YIKES!! Feel better soon, Deb.
When it's not the kids disrupting your sewing time it's the cats. Hang in there. You'll get it done ... eventually. Hope the foot gets better soon. I don't know what 12 PT means but I'm pretty I don't want some. Take care. ;^)
this is turning our beautifully--I like that gray sashing...I am not a fan of long seams either--I tend to get them a bit wobbly (like me hahaha) hugs, Julierose
That looks wonderful, Deb! I like the dark blue setting triangles, too. Hope your foot feels better soon, especially so that you can enjoy the Science museum!
I love the dark blue setting triangles! You’re right that it calms it down, and they also frame it nicely. It’s going to be another beauty!
I love the blue setting triangles! They really set off the design well. I also hate long seams, which is why I break them up and add them to each block. A border would finish this nicely and make it bed sixed for your daughter. Happy new year!
Terrific colors for your sampler quilt! No wonder your daughter wants one! And I really like your furry "helpers". Good luck with your foot, hope it heals right up.
You need to be kinder that your feet, by the sounds of things!!! do take care--and baby it--
that quilt is really coming 'alive' now with all the finishing and that blue is really nice--
those kitties just wanted to help you!!!!:)
luv, di
I will get to do the color along this year too--and hopefully keep up with it now with having a machine to work with--!!!
I am continuing next year and plan to have fewer interruptions this time! I really Like the blue setting triangles! Sometimes necessity leads us to unexpected surprises.
Ooh, very nice!
The gray sashing with blue setting triangles is absolutely perfect! Great job, I love it! Now take care of that foot. Nothing like a bit of pain to take the joy out of a grand finish.
Looking good Deb! Kitty Cats are really bugging you this year!
Take care of that foot! No fun! Enjoy the Museum! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR
