zozee - thank you for your kind comments, I wish I had an idea how long this took, but I usually work on more than 1 quilt at a time, so I don't have any idea how long I worked on this. I did use my Accuquilt to cut my fabric and I'm sure that made a huge difference since everything lined up so well. The other quilts I was working on were a Hunters Star, Bonnie Hunters newest mystery quilt, and Annita Grossman Solomons Log Cabin with self mitered corners. All but the mystery quilt were started in early summer, and all are now ready to get going on the FMQ! The pics I'm showing are in various stages of completion.
