Comments
What do you get when you sew 3,025 two-inch squares together? A Masterpiece. I accomplished this creation by taking one block at a time. This quilt is divided into 64 blocks with 36 squares in each block (excluding border). At first I was overwhelmed by this project. But then I remembered the slogan: "You can eat a whole elephant, if you eat one bite at a time." So I just thought of each block as one bite of the elephant and it was finished before I knew it.
