Ready, Set, Sew!

I've done a lot of tinkering on this. You'll have to enlarge the photo to look more closely, but I have worked hard to ensure that the same fabric does not touch each other throughout the quilt. It was quite an undertaking. After a lot of work, this is what I will sew together.

 

I don't sew a whole long row of 14 blocks together. I sew half of it. It's easier (for me) to sew two big chunks together rather than do long rows of 14 blocks, which is about 56 inches long. In the strip above, there are seven blocks, and 14 unique fabrics.

As we all know, a design tightens up when sewn together. Here are seven rows of 7 blocks each. This is looking really good.

.

Fourteen blocks equals 56 inches wide and I like my couch quilts to be 60 inches wide so I have set down an extra block at the far left edge of each the top ten rows shown above. I'm not 100% sure I'll add those extra blocks. I'll make that decision later.

My pal Cherie says this quilt has a lot of "pizzazz," and indeed it does. I think she has named this quilt.
