I did it...the last geisha block. I loved the one that I picked for the last one...the last one is always the saddest, but that means that I can start my new project. I will have to cut the strips for the sashing and binding. I got wonderful oriental fabrics from Shibori Dragon, and now the finishing of what was a long project.We are off for our walk for the day. It is a bit cloudy today, so the sun is hiding behind a cloud, and it is cool, so I will need a lightweight jacket. Deb Karasik, who is giving the workshop on paper piecing at the quilt retreat is right now on a plane flying to Ireland. That is so exciting. She wrote me that she was visiting her grandkids before the big trip to Ireland. I can't wait to see her!
I will also cut out my hexagons for the next hexagon flower....as I want to use the jelly roll strips from my new jelly roll. It is always fun to open up a new jelly roll.
I have to add something...This afternoon, I watched the first Twilight movie and it was awesome...very romantic and exciting. I thought that they matched the actors to the book's characters perfectly, and I thoroughly enjoyed my afternoon watching it while Joe took a nap. Also, Simone from the Netherlands sent me a lovely siggy with a hand embroidered birdhouse on it. It is so lovely, 
and the fabric is so colorful and cheery. Thanks so much Simone!

Oh I feel sad too sometimes when I have finished something that I have worked on for a long time...but it doesn't last long!!! Read your previous post on the quilt...fabulous Micki. I have the first 3 books of Jennifer's in the one volume which I recently purchased but as yet haven't started them...Dzintra ♣

I'm so happy that you have finished the Geisha Blocks. Another step closer the being completed. I know that it is going to be awesome.

Congratulations on finishing the last Geisha block. Such a beauty with so many details. I can imagine you feel a bit sad. A bit of a good bye to something you have enjoyed for so long. But then there are so many new projects you are able to start! Glad the siggy finally did reach you!
