Thank you! I took a class at a LQS (mostly just to force myself to give me time to practice- I had already done a lot of sketching, so the class didn't really teach anything new) and after the 2 hour class we were told "go quilt something real!" They really discouraged spending all your time on practice blocks.
A project like this was good, because if it turned out amazing, I was really happy, but it was kind of a practice at a new technique anyway, because I couldn't ruin something I'd spent months on. Painting just took a day or so.
