Thank you for all the wonderful comments but truly I'm not sure I deserve them. Cutting the confetti is really a non brainer and you can do it while talking, watching TV etc., just don't cut yourself. Putting it together was a lot easier for me than trying to match seams, making flying geese etc. My 92 year old mother also took the class. She is having trouble using the monofilament thread so I will have to do the quilting for her, but other than that, she did a great job. I will post a photo of hers when we get all the safety pins out.
