Center: 36 blocks are string-pieced in scrappy combos of light blues and chocolate browns.

Inner Sashing is solid light blue flannel.

Borders are a scrappy piano-key border with mitered corners, surrounded by a final brown dotted border.

The backing is a tan/blue/gray floral patterned cotton.

The binding is a brown and ivory polka-dotted cotton.

Quilted in "Trillium Leaf" pattern, front with baby blue thread, back with chocolate brown thread.

The mitered corners are deliciously wrinkly post-washing.

This quilt's label is a custom stamp onto grosgrain ribbon sewed into the binding.

There are 36 string-pieced blocks (created using "String Me Along" pattern) that are ready to be arranged.

Combining the 36 string-pieced blocks into 9 groups of 4 blocks each.

Measuring the piano-key borders.

The piano-key borders all sewn onto unbleached muslin and ready to be attached.

Being quilted on my Janome QMP-18 long arm.

Already loving the "Trillium Leaf" pattern, even before the first row has finished!
