Izy - I have to tell you, you started this post on Sept.14 and so help me God, I have stared at it every single day since. I copied your directions and I gotta tell ya, I'm gonna be seein 1/2 triangles and 4 patches in my sleep. As you can surely see by all the comments, it truly is a breath-taking quilt. Thank you soooo much for sharing it with us. Calling all quilts on my "to do" list.....move to the back Izy's Jacob's Ladder quilt is next ;)
