3460

3460. My home address? Nope. My PIN number to some bank account? Nope.

3460. The number of pieces in the quilt top I just finished today, which was then shipped off to Mark's cousin, Ione, which she will beautifully machine quilt and we will then donate for auction in April.
I took this picture before I added the "woven ribbon" border, at which point I could no longer take a picture of the quilt top because it was 110" square. And who has unobstructed floor space that big?
Finally completed.
The bow at the bottom. The blue ribbon goes around all four sides.
Other than the panel in the center (above) which has the two bluebirds (560 pieces), this was the block with the most pieces (271).

And this is my favorite block (217 pieces), just in case you were wondering.

3460. Because I thought piecing could give me the look of applique. You know...without all the work.
