Astrid completed her wedge quilt, which may be called a tumblers quilt. We don't know. They look like wedges to me. Kirstin's cousin said they looked like lava lamps. With the multitude of fabrics she used, it looks pretty awesome, no matter what it is called. If you know your multiplications, then you can multiply the number of blocks across by the number of blocks down and determine how many blocks are in Astrid's quilt.
Although Astrid cut a lot of those blocks out quickly, she slowed down in the process to get everything just right. She is looking to put it in a quilt show this coming fall. She carefully stitched-in-the-ditch, using her walking foot, so her stitching is more straight than not, and trying to avoid starts and stops in the body of the quilt. She did have a few problems with not keeping it in the ditch, so she had to leave long threads on and rip out the bad part, then tied a knot in the thread, then thread it on a needle, so she could pull it all under the top fabric (make it not be seen). What a pain! It is so much more fun to just do it without thinking about it being perfect for a show. This is Marsha signing off!
