I'm still struggling with tension issues quilting my March UFO. I'm starting to wonder if it is the thread...probably more likely user error.
Thank goodness I have the setting of the Layer Cake Quilt Along to divert my attention.
Just one more piano keys border to add. I bought a set of Tonga Treat 2 1/2 strips to compliment my layer cake and used them to get me through the end...I never would have made the flower block without the extra fabric the strips gave me. I have no idea when or where I bought the brown Bali batik I found in my stash for the sashing. When I have pieces in my stash of two or more yards I figure I got them on sale. This piece was at least three yards but full of flaws in the fabric. I am so amazed at how much I enjoyed this project!

And it looks so good too. I used to buy 1/2 yard pieces with a few bigger ones thrown in. Now I am running out of stuff to use for backings and have started buying bigger pieces. Your batik piece is wonderful. I like the border even though I know it is a lot of work.
It looks beautiful! I love the icy colors!
