Izy--here's what the quilt is made of--strips of pieces sewn on a diagonal--then into these kind of blocks. Later I sew blocks together on a diagonal to get the effect. When I was ready to sew the strips together I panicked because none of the leaves lined up. It took me awhile to realize they'd line up after they were sewed together. :oops: I needed a warning. No wonder folks take a class--avoid those panicky moments. :oops: :oops:

It is going to be beautiful.. I really like the pattern...I was searching last week for pattern Tree of Life.. I found Joann has a sale right now on the Tree of Life Stamped Cross Stitch Quilt... I decided to do one in embrodery... Looked alot easier than quilting one.. You are a brave person :lol:
