I did one and had all the pieces laser cut by Katie Flynn (sorry, don't know her married name) who is John's daughter. It cut down on the time considerably and worth the price for the stress of cutting being gone. The only drawback was laser cutting left a slightly brown edge. That easily disappeared in the 1/4 seam, but if I used steam to press (where are those quilt police?) sometimes the brown would bleed through. When I hand washed a couple of the pieces, the brown totally disappeared. Mom is handquilting it or I'd show a picture.
Oh, yes, you should also know that I won't be making one again. Too many other pretty patterns out there to explore!
