    fun to make the block. Not so much fun putting the blocks together- for me. Small hour glass secondary blocks didn't match well

    I watched the video yesterday and couldn't wait to try it. It turned out quite well..........but you are dealing with bias edges. Be careful.........................

    I've made several now. I think it looks best with just 2 colors but that's me. Not sure how I'm going to quilt them.

    I have a king sized one on the quilt frame now. It is a simple pattern and beautiful outcome. I used scraps of fabric and a white background. I well try and post a picture when it is finished.

    I was impressed with her illusion quilt tho I am making mine square. I wouldn't want to deal with all those bias edges, they are NOT your friend.
    A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort

    I made one just recently. Haven't posted a picture of it yet but I did make one mistake, actually it was 3 but it was the same mistake 3 times. I found it fun to make and will definitely be making another one or two or who knows how many more.
