I have been slowly but surely making progress on my Starflake Quilt during my physical therapy and recovery (which is going very well, btw). Some of you have been extremely eager to see pictures of my progress, so I'm sharing a couple here with everyone. Dance with me!! : )

Two-steppin' with ya, Karen! Those sure are some beautiful blocks. I like their subtle colors. Nice to see that I'm not the only one who uses paper plates for sorting block parts, too.
Progress indeed, Karen. It was always a beautiful block - the 'mature' quilt is going to be stunning. Well done. . In message , "Karen, Queen of Squishies" writes
WOW!!! What an ambitious- and totally GORGEOUS!- quilt! I LOVE it! What are you planning for the outsides... continuing the blocks to the edges or do you have a border planned? Can't wait to see the finished project. Keep us posted on your progress. ;-)
Leslie- happy twirling in the ol' wheelchair for you & The Furbabies in MO.
Karen, that is really wonderful. You have made great progress with this! Each of those blocks is a triumph in itself. What a massive amount of piecing you've done so far. Congratulations!
Wow, Karen! That's gorgeous! The pattern is beautiful, but the finished blocks are even better! :D
Wow, beautiful, just beautiful!
Scrumptious!
Howdy!
Wow! Stunning!

Those paper plates have been a life-saver, because I do not have room to put all the pcs. out and leave them. I have to stack them like this, and they have to be labeled, and, and........ well - you get the picture. Glad you like it!

Thank, Leslie! I plan to fill in the outside with half-blocks, then add at least a double border.
Karen, Queen of Squishies
It really is a triumph so far, isn't it! I'm glad you guys kept asking for pictures, because putting the blocks up on the wall showed me just how big it is really getting. I'm glad you like it.

"Stunning." Wow, thank you, Patti. (blush)
