I pulled out my Smart Phone blocks tonight. I think it is time to just put them together and call it done. I've been working on this quilt for several years and have lost my mojo. It won't be as big as I would like it to be, but if I wait too many more years to finish it, all of the app symbols will be obsolete!

In other quilty news, I finished my Focus top today:
If I had it to do over, I would have switched the center and the outside prints. There is a lot going on in this quilt, and I think having the light print on the outside would calm it down a bit. I might also try using a different purple with a smaller pattern or just a solid. Even though the purple I used is a tone on tone, the print is a little big.
This is the first Purple Pineapple Studio pattern I have used. If I had to do it again, I would have cut the end borders along the selvage instead of crosswise. That way the end borders could have been cut in one piece instead of having seams. I would have also cut the setting triangles by differently than the pattern said to so that the outside of the quilt would not be on the bias. I controlled the stretch by stitching around the center of the quilt before sewing on the end borders.

Your smart phone blocks are such a fun idea--very cute! I'm looking forward to seeing the finished project!
I'm so low tech that I only know what a couple of those blocks are for. Cute!
Nice finished top and love all your apps! Look forward to seeing that top come together.
