You have to excuse the not so great photo but you get the idea. I had a hard time getting it all sewn together.
I decided not to do the usual sized setting triangles with a separate border. I did it tough and made really over sized setting triangles to make the quilting design on the border easier with less seams to quilt through. I hope I don't ever have to do this again..
If I manage to get some time over the next few days, I'll be drawing the trapunto border which will mimic the trapunto in the alternate blocks. Lots to do yet but it's progress and I'm loving how it's looking so far.

Hugs Lurline.
Gorgeous!!! That is so incredible!
Outstanding quilt design--love the trapunto on the blocks--will be grand with the border also having it!! These 2 colors really work well together, and are so gorgeous against the white background.
I'm swooning so much, there's a danger I'm falling off my chair. Seriously, this is absolutely stunning; the colours, the trapunto and of course your workmanship. Dear lady, I'm in awe!
Wow Janet it's fantastic!
Beautiful, just beautiful! I hope to see this win lots of 1st prize ribbons one day! Maybe even see it in person at an Australian quilt show!
It's beautiful, Janet.
Now, don;t forget those leaves! you know the ones I mean.
Just gorgeous Janet...worthy of a blue ribbon.

This is so beautiful, Janet! Love the repetition of the 9 blocks with the spinning movement the berries add. Congratulations of making it a top!
This quilt is incredible Janet. Your work is amazing, I love the trapunto centres. xo
Unbelievably beautiful....I can not imagine how many minutes you must have put into this....very talented. thanks for sharing it!!
Oh my goodness Janet who wouldn`t love it!!! wowser!!! it is just incredible how those blocks just dance on the quilt. They are literally waltzing!
Your quilting is tremendous!! just lovely and really sets this quilt to historic heights!
I usually use reader to follow but clicked on your blog Love your header very creative picture of your quilt you are working on...
Simply gorgeous Janet! It's beautiful!
This is so beautiful. What talent you have!
Stunning
Stunning quilt and amazing trapunto. Can't say more... I'm struck dumb with awe! :o)
It looks lovely and pristine with the red and that colour green. You have done a wonderful job on bother the applique and trapunto.
This is looking fantastic! How are you going to use it when it is finished?
Wow! I love your applique work. The trapunto is breathtaking too!
Congratuations
This quilt just gets better and better!
So gorgeous Janet!
It is already beautiful in it's unfinished state; it will be absolutely stunning when you've completed the quilting. Yay, you!
It is incredible! This is probably my favorite applique design and definitely my favorite color combination. The extra work you are putting into doing the trapunto will truly make this one of a kind and will rival the actual 1850's quilts.
Oh my stinking GOSH, that is just out of this world amazing!!!
Janet,
I love the new header!
This trapunto is really breathtaking. I try to find new words to describe how i feel when I see your work but always fail to do it gracefully!
LOVE IT!
I love the oversized setting triangles. I guess I don't understand why that would be harder. It is really fantastic and quite the stunning quilt!!
This quilt is just stunning. I really need to get back to the quilting on my red and green - thanks for the inspiration.
It's a true beauty, Janet! I LOVE everything you do. :-)
It's a true beauty, Janet! I LOVE everything you do. :-)
To call that a "quilt top" - no, no - it is a piece of art !
And that "top" is over the TOP!!!!!
Janet, You have an amazing talent as a quilter. Beautiful!
Trapunto in the border too - wow Janet! This is going to be one incredible quilt! It's a delight to see your top together.
As always, exquisite. You are a marvel at quilting.
You SHOULD definitely love how it's looking so far. It's fabulous! I can't believe how much work you're putting into it. If there's a good definition for "perseverance," it has to say, "Janet." Wonderful work!
That really does sound like a lot to do! So far, it's beautiful and I'm sure it will be even more awesome when you finish.
It's gorgeous, Janet! And how smart of you to do the oversized side pieces instead of the border. I never think that far ahead.....I'm taking notes now! :o)
It looks fabulous!!
Beautiful - love the trapunto!!
Very much in awe of your amazing talent. Your designs and attention to detail are first class.
A blue ribbon quilt for sure. I admire your talent and patience. It's gorgeous.
Oh my, you are fast!!! If I could only work as fast as you...
You tend to work on what I would think of as Masterpiece quilts. Beautiful work.
It is out of this world beautiful, you should be very proud.
It is/gonna be fabulous!
Wow Janet! It's just GORGEOUS!!!

A great idea to make the over sized triangles.
Wow Janet....it's gorgeous!!! Hey, progress is progress no matter how large or small....slow and steady wins the race!!
