Just wanted to 'report in' tonight. I finally got up my nerve and started piecing the strips together tonight. LOTS of pins!! Am I overly-freaking out by pinning between each color?? :shock: So far everything seems to be lining up. Somehow I'm feeling like I'm going through quilting bootcamp. I've never done a pattern that I need to really think about making sure everything is matching up. I've got about 5 strips pieced and pressed so far, and I'm starting to see the 'wave'. How exciting!! How in the world do people make HUGE quilts like this?
Anyway, I'm excited and just wanted to share. I'll definitely need to take a break and do some scrappy crumb quilting during this project where I can cut free and just 'wing it'. :thumbup:
