My design wall isn't wide enough to lay out all the blocks so I ended up setting out two piles of blocks next to my machine, the "A" blocks and the "B" blocks, and sewing them together fairly randomly. The rows extended at least 6 inches over the edges, and I would have needed a step-stool to get all the rows up there at the same time!
The larger it grew the more "fun" it was to work with.
I could only get a photo of the whole thing when it was spread out on the living room floor.
Now, two of the borders are on .....
..... and the backing fabric is ordered from Fabric.comhttps://www.fabric.com. Isn't it perfect?
It looks like I'll be able to send it off next week to my longarm quilting friend, Shirley Jackson. There is no way I could man-handle that thing to quilt it on my domestic machine!
I will be happy to have this quilt finished, Debbie will be happy to have it on her bed, and it might just be another sister's turn for a new quilt.

I love it! Can I be your sister, too? lol My space for a design wall is so limited that I actually do have to climb up on a step ladder to lay out the majority of my blocks/tops in progress.
I love this piece, Sandy! It just dances with movement. Can't wait to see it all finished and ready to give to your very lucky sister! :)
I hope to be making a quilt of this pattern soon. Yours is beautiful! I especially like how you did the border.
What a fabulous quilt - your sister will be thrilled. It looks a lot of work!
Wow, you made great progress. Cathy (saneandcrazy.blogspot.co.uk) always works the way you have here and produces lovely quilts - sometimes it makes me wonder why we bother trying to plan.
Your quilt looks terrific! Lucky sister to be receiving this one!
What a lovely quilt finish this will be!!
Lovely result; such a great way of using scraps (and jelly rolls) and giving your sister a great present. I like the scrappy border too!
Very bright and beautiful!
What a pretty quilt top. Thanks for sharing with Oh Scrap!
Sandy, Debbie will love her quilt. If she doesn't, I think it is the right size to cover my toes! Love all the bright colors. Can you see any difference in your scraps yet?
Beautiful, bright, happy quilt. Your sister will love it, I'm sure! I don't know the size but it looks huge. Doesn't it feel great to finish such a monster-sized quilt?
