I will never be good at this. I do not have time or patience for practice quilts, much less blocks.
This is only my 7th quilt, so I need the practice ;-) I've never done blocks with lots of bias, never pieced a backing and I also got to practice my FMQ. The fabric I used was an inexpensive remnant from my LQS, and the black was a left over. The fabric I got for the 'real' one was pricey. It has a large repeat, so I needed like 6 yards. Before I cut into it I wanted to make sure that I liked the general design. Trust me, this one will be going to someone for Christmas. I can't believe I already have a gift for this year! I'm a real procrastinator. (sp?)
