I have to say, in all reality, it looks much harder than it was....paper piecing really breaks it down into manageable sections. I'd encourage anyone who has an opportunity to take a Judy Neiemeyer (sp?) class to go for it because they really teach some neat tricks and tips for paper piecing. BTW - I just got my pattern for the Bali Bed Runner in the mail today. I said I'd NEVER paper piece.........so much for that!
Thanks for all the wonderful comments on the quilt. I describe myself as "obnoxiously proud" of this one. :)
