A Big Project

I started a civil war quilt just over a year ago, and I am still not done it.  It was my first quilt class that I went to and I really enjoyed my Saturdays at the quilt shop sewing. I finished month 11 tonight outside of the partial assembly.  I still have a border to piece.  There are over 1000 squares in the border.  I could be at this for a bit.  I had to skip ahead and get the one corner on tonight just so I could see what it was going to be like.  It is a little on the large size.  I laid it out on our bed, a queen, and I still have 3 large corners to put on.

The red square that is in the top center of the picture that will be the middle of the quilt.  This has been a challenge of directional fabrics.  I am trying to get this one done because I have just signed up for another Block of the Month, because they showed me the fabrics and they are beautiful.
