Some might have counted the papers to see how many there are but I don't worry about doing things like that. I did do a bit of a calculation based on the number of flowers and I estimate probably approximately 400 pieces.
I have been asked about the age of the quilt top and I would have said about 30 years but I did find pieces with advertisements relating to 1993 so it looks like it is about 20 years old.
Now the paper pieces have gone so has the 'dirty' look and I am quite pleased with the colour combinations.
The hexagons are 3 inches and there's over 40 flower shapes in the whole quilt which is big enough to be a coverlet for a single bed.
This time it was Kaiser's turn. He was there within minutes.

Your cats are a hoot! This is such a beautiful project. And done with such love.....
I'm glad that you are finishing this quilt. It deserves to be used and admired.
Congratulations on getting the cat off your lap for long enough to finish pulling papers. This quilt is going to be gorgeous when it’s all quilted up. I cant believe someone got rid of it ! Lucky for you though!
yay! I think it is going to be beautiful!
