Actually Butterfly the planes were the first paper piecing that I have ever done. Done lots of sewing though. I would normally NOT have tried this, but I looked and looked for airplane quilts and this was my favorite. The instructions that came with the pattern were very clear and helpful

I'm trying to do all the hard stuff first. Just my way of looking at things. I like to be on a downhill slope! However, having said that, I do think that the hardest thing FOR ME is going to be putting it together to look right, having the colors flow from greenish fields to blue sea/sky. I'm not very good with colors. I have learned lots from this forum, though!
Great quilt idea, and you're doing a wonderful job. He'll love it.

We're a naval aviator family. I'm the wife, mother and DIL of naval aviators.
