It is beautiful. Sorry it was so hard for you. If you look up rings that bind, you will find a way that is much easier to do. Mainly because when you get each block finished it is also quilted & by the time you get the whole quilt top put together, it is totally done front & back. It really is a simple way to make this quilt. Kaye woods shows the step by step way of doing it. You should check it out. I have always wanted to do one, but wouldn't commit to it as I knew it would be a nightmare to do the original way. I am now getting ready to tackle it the Kaye Woods way.
