Finished!! I spent an enjoyable afternoon quilting and attaching a narrow binding to the quilt which is now completed. The finished size is 50” square. I am not sure how this happened as the blocks are 12.5”  before stitching together. All I can think is that my scant 1/4” seam allowance is a VERY scant and over the 16 blocks this has increased the overall size of the quilt. The colours of this project do not fall into my usual range as they came from a jelly roll that I  had in my stash. However, I am delighted with the end result.
