There's some great advice that others have given. One other hint I could add is this: when you're putting your braids down to match up and pin, DO NOT pick up one end and flip it (like you would sheets) to move it. This will stretch them out, and this movement is an unconscious move that we all make I think to straighten out quilt tops and sections. Other than being careful of the bias stretching, just pay attention to the details and you'll end up with a very nice quilt. (p.s. after I made mine, I gave the book away!!)
