and here is the quilt as it stands now, pinned on the design wall (click to get larger sizes).
If my calculations are correct (and this is ALWAYS in doubt), it will end up somewhere around 42" X 62" (106cm X 157cm). I have decided to put an inner border, as Rian (I believe) suggested when I first unveiled the design. My original thought was to have the inner blocks kind of meld into the outer blocks; however, after much thought I have decided that the border will frame the inner blocks nicely and provide a window affect for the forest scene. I don't know what I'll do on the border, but some thoughts are percolating! In fact, they are percolating a bit too much, I woke up last night for my nightly stumble to the bathroom around 2am and then couldn't get back to sleep because I kept going over the quilt and it's design in my head and couldn't shut it off. I finally had to get up and have some milk (with Hershey's syrup - puts me to sleep everytime) and settle myself before I could go back to sleep. Too many more nights like that and I'll be about worthless!
More progress in a couple of days, ladies!

The moon block is already hypnotic!
Those dead-of-night design sessions are often the most productive, aren't they?
I love watching the design phase of people's work. This is looking lovely, with that moon to light your way to the bathroom!
It is going to be a most interesting piece. Seeing the blocks together like that really makes the "moonshine" come through. It's so much easier to see it when you can stand back.
Oh my goodness it's going to be just beautiful!

I am really enjoying seeing this project come to fruition! Thanks so much for sharing the process!
I know all about that 2AM creative blast from The Muse. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it, I always say.
