I totally agree, it is a very difficult pattern, but it is being executed beautifully! Any of us get discouraged from time to time, and it isn't our first rodeo! Please don't think all your quilts will be this time consuming--unless you want them to be or continue to choose ambitious patterns. You are doing a great job. One thing I would add, I have found that cutting your fabric selvage to selvage makes piecing more difficult. There is too much stretch. If you want seams that don't stretch, you would do better to cut lengthwise.

That is going to be beautiful and if she doesn't love it you can send it to me. LOL. All joking aside it is beautiful and can't wait to see it finished.

Amazing work for your first quilt. You're a 'natural'. Well done.

It's awesome. I love the colors. I can't believe you are a beginner. Be sure to post a finished pic. Love the colors. Bold but not overpowering. AWESOME. You can brag about this one.
