Here's a closeup of some of the blocks.

Design Wall Monday
I started working on this quilt last spring. The pattern is from an antique quilt. The squares have to be laid out and carefully sewn together. It's very slow going, however, I find it relaxing and meditative. I will keep going until I run out of the red I am using for the chains between the blocks. The squares are cut at 1 1/2 inches, so 1/3 of this quilt is disappearing into the seam allowances. I'm thinking of using wool batting because the top will be so heavy.

i absolutely love this quilt! trips around the world/bargellos/postage stamps/boston commons are some of my favorite quilts~ i can't seem to get enough of them! each one is so intriguing to me~ is there any strip piecing involved, or are you cutting individual squares for this masterpiece?
Beautiful! Love the rich colors you are using and that red for the primary chain. Looks great!

Wow! What a treasure you will have when completed. 1" squares make gorgeous quilts! I love your colors as well. Great quilt!!
