Over the last week I've sewn up the rest of my Sylvia's Bridal Sampler blocks. I've decided to call it quits at 63 blocks. Steps to the Altar was the last of the traditionally pieced blocks in the book for me to make.

| Steps to the Altar |
There are
140 blocks in the quilt and the rest of the blocks in the book are made
using either foundation piecing or templates. Being more of an "instant
gratification" type patchworker lately, I went looking on-line for
alternative insructions to make some of the blocks below rather than follow the instructions in the book.
And hot off the sewing machine, the last block, and probably my favourite because I love all the colours together:
Had a wonderful day out yesterday with my two girls wedding dress shopping. Although we came home empty handed we had a lovely time. Found lots of styles that don't suit, so that's a start. Some of the sales assistants were horrified that Elizabeth is marrying in 3 months and doesn't have her dress.
I'm off to trace some Christmas stitcheries.

Glad you girls had a nice day yesterday..any shoes! totally love your blocks Lynda the fabrics are gorgeous..
Your blocks are so happy! O look forward to seeing them put together.
Wow!! Those other blocks are lovely and will fit in just fine. I think 63 is a good number. You done good!
The blocks are fantastic, you and Diann have been working on this quilt for a while now it will be lovely to see it come together.
As for the dress, my cousin had her dress a year or more before the wedding then it didn't fit her. She bought a new one about 2 weeks before the wedding, no dramas. I am sure Elizabeth will find the dress and it will be just right. (lol my cousins name is Elizabeth too!)
