ladypetite, after seeing what a beautiful piecing job you did, I watched the MSQC youtube tutorial on how to assemble it. Did you use the modified instructions Jenny posted after the pattern was printed? I see all of your points are perfect. Another question: if you used the modified method, was it difficult to offset the side background pieces and still match all the seams? This quilt is gorgeous, both of you did an outstanding job. You make a good team. Thanks for sharing with us.
