This is what my Design wall looked like on Tuesday morning.....
all my angel blocks were finished and their borders on …. now to fill in the gaps
… and this is how it looked by the end of a busy day sewing...…
I feel it is all rather busy and all over the place... had a chat with my friend Michelle with some photo sending (isn't modern technology wonderful) and she came up with an idea of doing a double border to bring it together...
I had to go shopping!!!
the blue was purchased and I had the orange (part of the same range I used in the quilt) already
… I am hoping to get to do the borders this weekend
I think all the blocks are tagged so if you want to see close up look at the angels scroll through these posts HERE ….
I did a few more red based circles over the last week... they are a handy pick up and go item....
… and I finished off these few Dutch Treat blocks.....
In fact... that green one is the very last block in the book!!!!
Hooray... and this is what my pile of all 196 Dutch Treat blocks looks like
These blocks were started at the beginning of April 2016 so they have taken a while - though I haven't only done them (as you may have noticed)
.. oh and I did some fun quilting this week too!
Righto, Gotto Go..... because I have finished those blocks I guess I can start something new?

Love, love, love the angel quilt! All of your work is so beautiful.
Your quilting is fantastic! Feathers and ribbon candy or so consistent and even. Love your blog.
Your Angels look gorgeous and the border is going to look great. Oh how lovely to have all those Dutch Treat blocks finished - so looking forward to seeing how you put them together. xx
Gorgeous angel blocks and borders.Love your pile of DT...wow ...amazing effort.
Lots of finishes and near finishes happening at your house!! The angels look wonderful, you must have sewed up a storm to get them all done!! Well done on the DT blocks, the last four look amazing. The circles look great on the red background. What will the new project be I wonder?? 😆
WOW all the Angels put together , great job. Look forward to seeing the borders on...
Fantastic work on all your DT blocks , will be an amazing quilt when that's completed.
Enjoy the weekend.
You finished some big milestones this week!! Your Angels look lovely, and I think that blue border really does tie them all together in a nice frame. And soooo many Dutch Treat blocks! Did you think you'd ever get them all done? :)
I love seeing how different colours change the look of a quilt, that blue is perfect
Your angel quilt will look beautiful when finished. Such lovely soft colours. Well done on finishing the last Dutch Treat block. I’m looking forward to seeing how they all come together. I wonder what you will start next?
Love the angel quilt but what about all those blocks, now to put them all together and still time for beautiful quilting xcx
Your quilt is looking wonderful and so close to the end. Amazing work.
And how good to have also reached the end of your Dutch blocks. Yes, I know they have to be put together but that is easy in comparison to making the blocks.
What a wonderful achievement.
Woot woot - well done on finishing the Dutch Treatt blocks - what a mammoth effort. Have you compared the very first one to the final one - I'm sure it's been a good way to master reverse applique? Looking forward to seeing how these go together.
Great job on completing your ditch treat blocks they are so amazing!
Can’t wait to see them all coming together into a quilt.
Fantastic!,
