Don't worry Kim, it isn't hard at all. Funny, I started out making big blocks when I first started quilting and quickly went down to the smaller block sizes. Now I prefer to do blocks that are 6-inches or smaller. The key is to make sure you cut everything out just right and to make sure your seam is an exact quarter inch. Sally Collins, one of the most amazing quilt instructors across the nation, is known for her precise piecing. Her secret is simple, simply measure each unit and the final block to make sure the size is correct and everything will come together perfectly. I bet after the first week or so it'll feel a lot more natural for you. And if you have questions or need help, we'll all gladly throw our opinions at you! :lol:
Blue Chicken - Wow! The three colors is definitely striking.
