Jillaine: If you have never made a wedge quilt or, similarly, a tree skirt, then you need to know that it seems that the wedges will never get completed. If I had made a small dresden plate, I would have known what to expect. Sewing single pieces of fabric into a wedge circle is not bad at all. But these were 18" long and very narrow.

What I did (as you can see in my quilt), is flip and sew small pieces of fabric into one single wedge. It was taking so long that I succombed to just using single pieces of fabric in some of the wedges. In retrospect, I could have done the same each year I've been quilting, but I've just made so many quilts that photograph portfolios and a Power Point presentation will suffice.

I may do another, but only using single fabric strips. It is a very striking wall hanging.
