It's been almost a year since my last post. Life, work, Instagram all vying for my time. But the top I was working on then is finally finished. Backing purchased, washed, ironed and waiting to be cut and sewn together. Debating whether to use batting. It is a coverlet after all. And if so, what's the thinnest I can get.?And how should I quilt this? Was I too optimistic appliquéing 2017 on this? Lots to ponder, but for now I'll enjoy the top being done.

| The completed top. These colors seem truer than in the detail shots. |
 |
| Being optimistic with a 2017 date. |
 |
| Most of the blocks finished at 4.5 inches. |
 |
| Fabrics are Basic Grey floral (in 2 colorways) and Grunge in several bright colors. |

| I surprised myself by doing a lot of applique. |
