Jamestown Landing Officially Begun

I inadvertently started Jamestown Landing this weekend.  I knew I wanted to make this quilt someday, so several months ago I started making neutral 4 1/2" string blocks. This weekend I realized I had over 100 neutral string blocks!

I was also making 5 1/2" blue string blocks this month for RSC.  Then I realized that Bonnie Hunter's Jamestown Landing quilt has a string border, and I could start the string border instead of making the  5 1/2" blocks that I have no concrete plans for.  So my Jamestown Landing will be blue and white instead of the green and white I was thinking of.

Yesterday I finished the blue string border pieces.


I also sorted and counted my neutral sting blocks.


I have 130 made and need 168.  Now I need  to make 840 blue and white half square triangles.  That will take a while!  But since this quilt has its own project box now, it is officially a work in progress.

Oh, this looks like it's going to be a beauty, and the blue feels so fresh. Can't wait to see your progress.

I wonder, do you stitch in you sleep. =) Another wonderful quilt in progress. Love the blue string border pieces.

That's quite a quilt to start inadvertently! It will be beautiful. I just finished one in red earlier this year--fun pattern. :)
