Did you have any trouble with all the bias edges? I did a sample block and love the way it looks. But is sure is stretchy? Any tips? SVAL

I love your pink and white DHG. It's a beauty and the border is perfect. I have fabric to make one in black and white. Thanks for the inspiration.

I have heard that several people had trouble with bias edges on this pattern; however i ran into no trouble with bias edges. Seems to me that the tiny bit of stretch made the blocks go together perfectly. One thing that I have always done when piecing is to keep a stray bottle of water with a small amount of starch in it at my piecing station to press as I piece. Maybe that is what helped to keep the bias play nicely.

LLLove your quilt. We, our quilt group just started this pattern. Mostly prints and solid used so lots of interpretations.
I am just about to begin cutting, I think 10" squares. Thank you for your beautiful piece.
