Wonderful achievement you have going there! Keep up the quilt but give yourself more breaks. As I was reading through the pages, I came to the conclusion that all the Round The World's I had made, were made incorrectly until I came across Jingle's instructions. Sewing strips and cutting is so much easier and quicker and that is why a lot of my charity quilts are made this way. Do take care and try the strip method for your second quilt. Good Luck
