The final jigsaw piece arrives

Well the sixteenth block has arrived to complete the picture
That's it - all my four seasons block are safely gathered in with the last Winter block in the post this morning

As you can see from my design wall I have the bundles of Winter sashings and cornerstones all cut and hanging up ready to finish assembling this centre

Then it's on to the outer two borders -

The first will be a narrow one of about 2" width in 4 contrasting pertinent fabrics, one for each season but with the same 4 lots of green fabrics for the cornerstones as are in the 4 sections of the centre.

Then the outer wider border which will again be four different seasoned fabric with the 4 different green cornerstones but to compliment this I intend to use the 4 central sashing checked fabrics to applique the four season names - Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter on this border probably to the left of each cornerstone.

Clear as mud? You'll see when I take the photos

After I've completed the baby quilt that is

It does sound a bit like a jigsaw Anne :) But I am sure it will be lovely.

After you've finished the baby quilt, of course!

It's looking good. I'll be watching to see how it looks with the borders.

Your still churning out such beautiful work Anne, was wondering how you were coping during all these terrible floods. Not seen you around much in BQL.
