It IS a Long Road Home . . .

All the 9 patch blocks for Long Road Home by Paula Barnes for Red Crinoline Quilts are done.


And here they are on my design wall.  I'm making my quilt smaller, I'm going with 72 blocks.


And here are the 9 patch blocks with the neutral alternate squares.

I was a little uncertain of my fabric choice, not the fabric so much as the lack of scrappy-ness, only going with 37 different prints in 5 different colors, but I think it's going to be OK.


Looks like I have some assembling to do!

  3. It is looking lovely! It would even look lovely with the soft grey as an alternate block.
