The black lines are 1/4" wide. Yes I starched my fabric before cutting the 3/4" wide strips used to sew into all those seams to achieve 1/4" wide ( leading). If I were to make it again I would probably use the 1/4" fusible quick bias and applique the lines on instead of sewing them into the seams. As I went along I learned lots and thought of things I could have done easier.

The pattern is based on the wall hanging ( Tree of Life) in the book "Quilts In the Tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright " by Jackie Robinson. The wall hanging is 42" X 51" . I redrafted the pattern using graph paper, pencil & a big eraser to create a king sized quilt.

Wow. It is not a design I woulkd have ever even considered, but it is magnificent. It will be the focus of whatever bedroom it is put in. Great quilting job. I will be waiting to see if you can get the whole thing in a photo.
