Roll Roll, Cotton Boll

TA-DA......It's FINISHED.....I would say, definitely not a beginner quilt. It took me a bit of going back and forth figuring out how many blocks are in the border. I admire those that persisted and made the bigger version, mine is large enough for me, I think about 56 x 74.

Whew....it sure feels good to have this one completed. What's next? I'm sure there are lots of things waiting in my sewing room that I've forgot about.

Happy Quilting.

    Just beautiful! I love the colors that you chose too. I just finished quilting this quilt for a customer, but hers was much bigger and in shades of purple. Equally as beautiful!

    I am doing the full sized version, it is going to be HUGE! Wish I had known, I would have only done half of it. I am still stringing mine, so congrats!!!

    I'd say the size you made is just right. Big enough to use, shows the design well, and manageable to get done.

    Congrats! I love the color of this one a lot - yummy! I see what you mean by it's not for the beginners though as I'm not good at those borders at all. They are very picky and tricky to me!!

    I was googling RRCB trying to find smaller ones and I found yours. I'm one of the laggers and have done 24 of the string blocks. Unfortunately I don't like to do string blocks so I decided to make mine smaller. Yours looks great. I was thinking 12 string blocks in the quilt, but I think that yours has 8 and it looks good and sounds pretty big finished. It looks like 15 of the other blocks if I can see right. I think that your version will be just right for me. Thank you for the inspiration.
