Illusions at County Clare

County Clare is a finished top! 

I can't remember ever making something with this many seemingly unrelated parts "making it up as I go along" so I am rather pleased with the finished product!  All four corners worked and it looks pretty close to what I imagined.

What a relief when the 4th corner matched up!

The final border took a lot more thought that I imagined.  I had a few ideas, but none of them really worked and by then I was committed to the 2" blue, since it was from a shirt that had been cut up and I could not uncut it.  I think larger than 2" would have been better, but I don't know if there would have been enough fabric that way and I really liked this color so this is it.

Bringing County Clare to a finished top was a huge accomplishment.  So many little pieces.  If this was not already committed to somewhere else, or I didn't already have more quilts than I know what to do with, this would be a keeper!
