From the book, "Radiant Sunshine & Shadow: 23 Quilts with Nine-Patch Sparkle" by Helen Frost. The quilt contains over 2,600 pieces, but it went together much quicker than I thought. I'm happy with my light-weight iron for projects like this (info below). It would have been a lot more difficult to press all of those seams with a conventional iron, and my little iron gets very hot and has steam, too.

That looks really difficult and time consuming. But very beautiful.
