My granddaughter saw a quilt on the front of a magazine and asked me to make her one. I think it was a Spinning Star? Anyway it was curved and only one block and I later learned it was a tessellating quilt. When I look at patterns if that word is there I run.........actually, I would like to make another one with batiks (of the Star, not any other tessellating pattern). I did the one for my granddaughter with just regular fabrics and it was when I first started quilting. I overlooked the fact that it was listed as "Advanced". Took me 2 years to finish it but she was so proud of it, I was glad I did it.
