One of the blogs I like (Stiched In Color; quilt along here: http://www.stitchedincolor.com/p/colorbrick-beginners-quilt-along.html ) did a quilt along (almost 2 years ago, but no worries on my end), and although I clearly missed the chance to quilt along with the other internet quilters out there on this particular project, here is my completed quilt top!
It's massive (for me) - this picture is of it on my full size bed, and you can't even see the sides since they hang off the bed. I tried a few different angles to see if I could get the whole quilt in:
This is a close up of the edge so you can see the frame I put on the bricks. And the next picture is the quilt turned sideways on the bed to see the bricks and the frame:
Also I have to say I have fallen in love with chain-piecing! Although the quilt along said to cut all the short sashings between the bricks to size, I just left one long sashing and chain pieced the bricks to it, then cut it up, as pictured below:
And last but not least, a picture of my workspace (read: dining room table) in the middle of the process. As you can see, my iPhone is prominently placed so that I can respond to text messages mid-sew (on one occasion I forgot to take my foot off the pedal while I went to read a text and had to rip a few mis-sewn seams).
