| DH is sleeping in this morning, so I got up and started working on RRCB. Now I have a flimsy approximately 56 by 86 inches, which is just about the size I like for couch quilts. I've been thinking about my leftovers and I have a pack of batiks, mostly blues which I have had for about 5 years, and I was thinking maybe I'll use them with the leftover pinks, greens and browns for another version of the RRCB. |

| I know a couple other bloggers had remarked on the possibility of making the smaller size. The hardest part for me was figuring out the number of strips for the borders. I ended up with 23 of the inside brown triangles on the ends and 37 on the sides. Since the inside corner triangles take up 4 each of the brown triangles that would be 19 strips for the tops and 33 for the sides + the triangles. I had to take a little deeper seam about 7 times on the tops and 2 times on the sides. Hope that helps someone. I must say that now that I'm this far (still have to baste and quilt) I love how the quilt has turned out. Another wonderful Bonnie pattern. I'm so grateful for her mysteries, otherwise I'd never have the nerve to get started. |

Joining you in the happy dance... Great quilt.
It looks terrific. I don't think I'd have had the patience to stick with such a complicated pattern.
always such a good feeling isn't it.........
oh wow! this is a masterpiece and I just love it! Big happy dance for you!
It's fabulous, Candace! Yay!
Congratulations! It's amazing!
Its a beautiful quilt and the border sets if off perfectly.
Doing the happy dance of joy with you! WOW, looks great! I have been stalled on making the string blocks. I finally decided to bite the bullet and will tackle them again this afternoon! Your quilt is beautiful! And I am going to make a note of the smaller size border stuff, just in case!
It is just beautiful. I love seeing all of the cotton boll quilts. Congratulations on finishing the top.
Its beautiful Candace - you did a wonderful job of it. Lots of pieces in that quilt.
I have made a couple of Bonnie's patterns from her website- the one I just completed was her Twisted Strips pattern. It is pretty quick to make and I was happy the way it turned out. It was a queen sized quilt for my aunt and uncle.
I will look forward to seeing your next pattern.
Warmest regards,
Anna
It looks wonderful! So many pieces!
I saw You name in a comment and so I decided to take a look at Your blog.
Wow, what quilts and patchwork You have!
It's the most wonderful Roll, Roll Cotton Boll I've seen! You did a fabulous job with your scraps! Truly beautiful! I also love how you did the label on the back with your embroidery machine. I'm going to have to try that. Thank you for sharing!
