The sum of 372...

Hello whoever you are in Minnesota! I keep seeing you've come to this post. and I'm curious! Drop me a line and say hello!


...is hopefully more than 372 in this case.

This is my Round Robin centre. I used one of Paula Nadelstern's snowflake patterns, from her Snowflakes & Quilts book I bought many years ago because I just loved the cover, and without knowing if I would ever attempt one myself. I've enjoyed reading the book several times. As she says in her book, 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts'. I agree.


So here is the 22" hexagon, just needing the setting triangles to complete the 372 pieces.


Some of the pieces are less than half the size of my little fingernail, which is why I have included some closer images - and I've left them bigger than usual, so you should be able to click on the image to see them in more detail.

UPDATE: HERE is the quilt when it returned to me I'll add more links when I have better photos, and when it's finished.
