This is MOST EXCELLENT!!
(Sigh) Yet another quilt for the bucket list...
As badly as I want to make this, I have to stay on track for my UFO completions!!

Maureen and Dunster's block is the way to go. So much easier to do blocks rather than rows. The lady said she used (81) 12 inch blocks and her quilt is 108 inches which means she used a 9 X 9 block setting. She set 8 blocks with a half block on the end of each row. Happy stitching!!!
