Here's my progress as of yesterday, May 10th. I've gotten the center of the quilt all sewn together. I'm working on my letters/word, and then I'll be ready to add the border. I'll have another opportunity for creativity with the borders, as I don't have enough of any one fabric for the border.
As I was looking at the challenge quilt hanging on the design wall yesterday, I thought the top was billowing in the breeze. And then I realized that the wonky 9-patches are creating an "Op Art" effect! They look like they're bending or bowing out, due to the off-centered-ness of the blocks. That was a fun surprise that I never expected!

Happy Sewing
This is a beautiful quilt! Love those 9 patches!
I love your take on nine patches. This top is wonderful!
Love the way this looks with the combination of straight and wonky. Just like you say, there is a lot of visual movement going on... The colors are calming and soft - lovely! Have fun with your borders and letters!
I keep coming back to look at this quilt. It's gorgeous!
Thank you for all the wonderful, kind comments! I'm going to put "snuggle" on the border, and then probably name/initials and date on the back.
I love the wonkiness within the defined structure - cool effect! And lovely colors - especially love those yellows peeping out. Congrats!
What a great take on an Amish-style quilt! Remarkable
