Happy to say I have come to a good stopping point, I will pick this back up in March. All 169 inner blocks and all the outer triangles are WIP's!
I decided I like the look of raw edge applique enough to finish my block in this style. Originally I made notes of which blocks I could piece, applique, paper piece or combo. I worked on the first 40 blocks in the different techniques. My favorite was raw edge applique. So......... the next 100+ blocks were cut and glued at my mom's place last weekend when we ran down for a visit.

It is fun marking the "X" |

All 169 in piles ready to finish the applique work! |

Just had to see what they would look like sewn together. This is the top left 9-patch |
|
This will look better after top stitched |

My mess laid out at mom's, I worked while we visited. |

Center of the Back for my DJ. I hope to add borders with room to allow for scalloped edges after quilting. |
