Approximately 6,000. There may be a few more than 6,000 in this quilt, but we’re rounding to the nearest hundred anyway. There are also sashing strips, which brings the number of pieces up a bit more, but 6,000 is a pretty hefty number. And this is a pretty hefty quilt. I haven’t pieced a backing yet, so I’ll need to do that soon, but I was just so relieved to finally complete all of the piecing of the quilt top.
6,000 squares

so beautiful!
Can’t wait to see it quilted!
