JeanieG ... ITA it's an amazing quilt! All those little pieces have come together for a really stunning quilt for you. True credit to you, for sticking with all that piecing. Even in following it thru in the incremental steps ... a lot of sameness with in each step. You're right ... not often enough, we allow ourselves that distant view to truly enjoy our quilts.
JanRN ... I think we have ADD, and not able to focus on all those same parts repeatedly!
