It is a very attractive quilt before cutting, so it takes nerve to make those cuts. Fun though. There are only 3 simple blocks in the entire quilt.
Thanks for the explanation, I just went on line and bought the pattern. After viewing the demo, I understand how hard it would be to cut it after having made such a lovely quilt. I appreciate the info.
Be sure to post a picture of your quilt after you finish and let me know if you enjoy making it. It went together really fast.
