My mother just made this quilt in July for my SIL, it worked out beautifully, and following the pattern it was so easy to put together! The biggest WOW was using contrasting colors that really made it pop. We only used 3 colors-light and dark values for each part of the frame were the same (colors 1 & 3 were dark green and 2 &4 were pale orange batik) with a cream background. We really loved the result-would do it again!
