Yay! I finally finished my Summer Sampler 2016 quilt top! I put the last border piece on yesterday, but it was too windy to take a picture.

Wow! When I started this quilt, 20 weeks seemed like so long into the future, but now we only have three weeks left and it’s gone by so quickly! This is block #17 – Triangles Block: And here are all of my blocks together:
I can’t believe we’re on week 16 of this quilt along already! That means we just have four blocks left.
