Michigan Quilt - Blocks done

I finished all of the blocks for the Michigan quilt. Cutting happened Friday and Saturday, sewing of the remaining blocks on Saturday and Sunday. I don't have enough floor space to lay them all out together, so I just laid out the Lower Peninsula. Here are the separate photos.

There you go. I didn't repeat a single fabric, and only bought the background solid. Everything else is from my existing stash. Just in case anyone is wondering, my husband and I grew up in Kent county, which is that long green county (second column, second and third blocks from the bottom, the one with the topography squiggles - bottom and the compasses - top).
If you're from Michigan, can you figure out which one is your county?

  4. Michigan is a more complicated state shape to work with than some. A fun way to create a pattern. And an attractive quilt.
