I first need to recover from my first full size paper pieced quilt (Maine Star) before thinking of this one. My brain doesn't cope will with the concept of sewing upside down and backwards.
I am doing the Maine Star and it has driven me crazy from the start -- if somebody wrote a " how not to do it book" on this subject I would have done them all. I have often done more ripping than piecing.
I have a knack of thinking I have the color placement all figured out but 5 times out of 10 they finish in the wrong spots. I am using a lot of different colors and have fretted about what goes with what but am learning that all the colors are all playing nicely with each other. I think I compounded my trouble by trying to make each star look different instead of choosing basic colors and repeating them in the same place in each block.
Maybe a nap would help me too!
I'll be cheering for you to get this finished; it is beautiful and will be well worth the effort and frustration. Hopefully the pain will be quickly forgotten -- like childbirth.
