I was determined NOT to let this get the best of me. I would have gotten it if it took me 3 days! I think I've been sewing for so many years this process just seemed backwards to me. And I still am not convinced that I couldn't have done as well with piecing. What is the advantage anyway? So many scraps of paper in my room now and teeny tiny pieces of fabric, too. But I got it! I got a lot of help from the tutorials on here.
