I've been working off an on for the past 6 weeks, so I'm glad it is finally all together. Now I just have to decide how it should be quilted. Any ideas? I KNOW it won't be by hand.

Omigosh!
It's finished! Finally! Presenting my version of the Omigosh quilt.
I used very light water color like batiks and marbles for the lights, but all the colors are my own hand dyed fabrics, including the border. Shall we take a closer look?
Now you can see that the quilt is made up of a churndash block and a double nine-patch block. What is that laying on the quilt?
It's a... dime! Yes, now you can see the true scale of it. Because one inch finished squares are so, er, "last year," I embraced the half inch finished square for this quilt!

And where in HI are you stationed....my son was stationed in Mililani and we visited 3 times in his 2 1/2 years there.....wonderful!
