Thanks for the blow-by-blow (and beer works well with rotary cutters but should be avoided when trying to measure anything at all!!) I agree with Spokanequilter--the quilts that I have screwed up and had to replan are some of the best that I have made.
You have beautiful quilt. I love the bright colours and the tool theme. Hmmmm....DH loves to build furniture.....Christmas is only 7 months away.....
