Thanks, all! The is The Important Quilt for my DD and I am in a state about it. I took forever to pick this pattern. I had pretty much decided on Miss Rosie and when I saw Summer wind it was perfect.

I am making an excel spreadsheet with a worksheet for every fat quarter cut-directions to make sure it all will fit onto the fabric as instructed, and a worksheet for the list of cut pieces with a line for every piece identified by type of fabric (light bkgd, light print, med print, dark print, contrast print), size, description of fabric (big floral, paisley, stripe, tonal) and an identifier for the fat quarter #. I will match these to the instructions for assembly and put a location-code next to every piece in the detail spreadsheet, to make sure that the right fabrics go in the right part of the design. Small prints on small pieces, etc. to make it a little less than full-scrappy. I've got some excel summaries worked up to make sure that the cut-piece-totals match to hers.

I am glad to hear that you have followed the instructions and that I can email for help from the designer if I need it.

Another Quilting Adventure! This one is truly my Mount Everest!
